It's ASP.NET, not ASP!

[John Saunders]

<tongue in="cheek">
<p>
I've kept quiet about this for the past few weeks, but I just can't keep
silent any
more.
</p>
<p> There are too many people in this newsgroup who use the term "ASP" to
refer
to "ASP.NET". In the future, would you please try harder to use the correct
terminology:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
It's "ASP.NET", not "ASP". "ASP" refers to "ASP v3", which is not the same
thing
at all.
<li>It's "ADO.NET", not "ADO". "ADO" is that recordset thing. "ADO.NET" is
the DataSet
thing. "Data" is better than "Records", right?
<li>It's not "script"! Yes, I know that it lives within &lt;script/&gt;
blocks, but it's code, not "script"! Note that they called it "VB.NET", and
not "VBScript.N ET".
</ul>
<p>
I'm willing to forgive those of you who call it "ASPNET" because you at
least got
the "NET" part right, and I can forgive the use of InCorrect cAse because,
after
all, VB.NET forgives it and it has that ".NET" thing in its name.
</p>
<p>
But could we all just try a little harder to get it right? We should be
setting
a better example for the next generation...
</p>
</tongue>

Thanks,

Actually it's ASP .NET, not ASP.NET (notice the space before the .NET in the
first version). In fact, any .NET technology should be written with a space
before the .NET. So ADO.NET is really ADO .NET, ASP.NET is really ASP .NET,
Visual Studio.NET is really Visual Studio .NET, etc. Even MS sometimes
goofs on this because it is so easy to forget the space, but technically,
the space should be there.

(FYI) It has become general practice to refer to ASP v. 3.0 as "Classic ASP"
(to help allevitate confusion). Also, the "ASP" in classic ASP is an acronym
that stands for Active Server Pages, in ASP .NET, the ASP doesn't *stand*
for anything at all. The "ASP" in ASP .NET has become the brand name.

Not to mention that ASP also means Application Service Provider in other
parts of the interNET. Then again, I think we all know what people are
talking about when writing ASP in a .NET related newsgroup.

Here's a quick example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/

Look at the link on the left nav. pane for Visual Basic .NET.

I'll admit that the (space).NET is not followed all the time and not even by
MS consistently, but it is the "correct" syntax.

You're all ASP .NUTs

[Scott M.]

But you do know the difference between a Geek and a Nerd though, right?

A Geek is a Nerd who knows they are a Nerd. A Nerd doesn't know it and
thinks this is the way everyone is.

You realise that this entire thread is precisely the reason why anyone from the outside world considers us "Geeks".

An ASP is apparently also some sub species of snake didn't you know. Pack
quite a punch with their bite too i hear.

Or, better still, it is like the forg who thinks that the pond that it
lives in is the world...(this is for those who don't know that Greeks
exist in this world or for that matter Nerds!)!.

Come to think of it, Nerds used to be Americans, I am quite sure a Greek
can never be a Nerd unless the Greek is an American, which is not
possible.
