CGI is much faster than using ASP and CGI is platform independent unlike ASP where its just a microsoft technology.

Amazon.com, yahoo.com, and ebay.com write their website in C++ and cgi. Its much more efficent and faster.

if im correct, I beliece CGI can be more secure. I believe that ASP is more vulnerable to SQL attakcs, which can be very threatening.

CGI is a much older and much less efficient standard. the main problem with CGI is that each request fires a new process for the CGI script regardless of the language.
On the otherhand, newer technologies like ASP and JSP/Servlet and PHP execute requests as threads within the Web Server process - much more secure (re. system crashes), scaleable and efficient.
CGI is also pretty bare-bones and you got to be good at pattern-matching coding and lower-level coding, although I am sure you can find heaps of useful CGI scripts and code snippets to use.
ASP/Java/PHP all give you lots of built in features for example to handle POST data.
Now I am not exactly a big fan of ASP, I much prefer PHP or Java; but i would still choose ASP over CGI. And I am not sure about what improvements .NET has added aside from what microsoft ripped off from Java (i.e. auto garbage collection).

best regards,

I think ASP is much better than CGI. ASP is newest than CGI, it has more options, and you can simply create big web applications (using ASP).
On the other hand, it's true that ASP is slower than CGI, but in the future nobody will use CGI

Well if you think about it CGI has been around for a long time. Its stood up to others time and time again and is still around to tell the tale. It's features may be a little behind for it's time but it makes up for it in stability.

ASP on the other hand I believe is better for today's world it may be a little slower then CGI but the stability is there. Its features are growing more every day.

So If I were to choose Id choose ASP.

OK, I'm not going to write anything new here, that other people didn't write already. I would also choose ASP over CGI, but only due t a fact that I'm a VB programmer, so I'm familiar with language. I myself am not a MSFT fan, but hey, it just turned out that way wink.gif

Anyway, ASP.NET introduced some pretty neat features, and can be safely classified as a programming language, as oposed to ASP that is only scripting language.

And of course, depending on your needs, select CGI or ASP. There are hundreds of thousands of Perl scripts, or precompiled CGI applications on the web. But, as most of people, I would go for PHP, which is by far the greatest language ever smile.gif

I'd also choose ASP since it's much easier to learn.
And since most people still use Windows, it's not a big problem when ASP is limited to Windows' products... tongue.gif

But, why don't use PHP? It's becoming more popular now.
