Amazing job! I read comments and I'm still using ASP/VBScript.
I build an intranet web site using ASP 5 years ago and maintaining it. I once planned to migrate to .NET but in a small company no need it.
VBScript is very useful not only for ASP but also to VBA for MS excel, word ... Even AutoCAD and some Electronic Tools(Mentor Pads) are using VBScript. I love your job! Thanks.

I've found that a vbscript can do almost anything that any other programming language can do.

It is not clunky and can be done with a simple text editor.

When will i start using .Net...um...yeah...2011 should about cover it...FFS waken up...Every business process could be modelled in VB6+SQL2000, without exception...So why this forced upgrade?...Oh...Profit...yeah...Microsoft’s...So buy into it if you like...I suppose you swear by Vista too...DOH

PS. I'm an actively contracting Software Engineer / Solution Provider and I *never* use DOT NET. Ever. Oh, and I am able to work for 4 months, and take the year off:) Stick with DOT NET, sink with the rest of the sheep, or rats.

I found your fact-sheet while looking for asp+vbscript in google: you're number 1 from over 3 million results!

Unfortunately I never had the chance to use VB.NET professionally, the intellisense and context-sensitive help in Visual Studio is great (in VB6 too!) but I've recently changed my job and this new company uses classic ASP extensively. It's a small company and there doesn't seem much need of migration, so I guess ASP and VBScript will stick around for a while.

This cheat sheet you made some time ago will be put to good use by me (hey, I didn't even know regular expressions were possible!)

Thanks and good luck to you!

#20: VB.NET is what I work with at the moment and have done for the last couple of years. Do you think that me releasing a cheat sheet almost 2 years ago for a language I am familiar with implies a need to "wake up"?

I still maintain that regular old ASP can be more appropriate for some jobs and sites (especially for people who can't afford Visual Studio). There are people out there maintaining older sites built in ASP - for whom this cheat sheet would still be useful. And don't forget that VBScript is still used extensively in Microsoft products.

As I said above, I thought about doing a .NET cheat sheet, however all the documentation is built in to VS and intellisense removes the need for almost everything that would go on to a cheat sheet. I've had a go at putting one together, but haven't yet been able to make it useful without including stuff that's at your fingertips while developing in .NET anyway.
