What is the difference between the plus versions and the regular versions of
ASP and COM (ASP+ and COM+)? They are the next implementation of those technologies, no?
Does ASP+ differ from ASP 3.0? How is it related to .NET?
The next thing I need to devle into is component building and usage, and Id
like to make sure Im studying the right (most recent) technology before
spending time and money on books.
Stephen Breaks It Down
ASP+ = ASPng = ASP.NET (All are names for the same thing, the current being
ASP.NET)
ASP 3.0 is the version of ASP that ships with Win2K/IIS 5.0 and is NOT the
same thing as ASP.NET.
COM/DCOM under Windows NT 4.0 has evolved into COM+, with COM+ also taking
over much of the functionality of MTS. COM+ and ASP+ are not related.
Here's a quick breakdown by platform:
Windows NT 4.0
--------------
IIS 4.0
ASP 2.0
COM/DCOM/MTS
Windows 2000
------------
IIS 5.0
ASP 3.0
COM+
.NET Framework (currently in beta)
----------------------------------
