Technologies that compete with ASP. A Brief, and very highly biased survey
ASP is the technology I choose to invest the next 10 years of my career after examining several technologies; so asking me about the competitors is like asking Jeff Hawkins or a PalmPilot employee what they think odf Windows CE. You may get an honest answer certainly, but a very biased one. I will TRY to stick to the facts.
ASP competitors are:
Most of the above technologies run on Unix and NT. ASP runs on NT for free but costs $$$$ on almost every other platform.
There are other minor competitors but these are the ones that are most likely to come up in a meeting with bosses about webserver decisons.
