Summary

Developing web applications requires careful programming environment selection. Converting a LISP application to Active Server Pages (ASP) with a relational database proved more robust and maintainable for web delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Software Engineering
  • Web Development

Background:

  • The World Wide Web is a primary platform for multi-user application delivery.
  • Choosing suitable programming environments for rapid prototyping, code portability, and maintainability remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the conversion of a LISP-based web application to Active Server Pages (ASP) technology.
  • To assess the viability of different development environments for robust web application delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Converted a LISP web application (Search/SR) to a functionally identical version (Search/SR-ASP).
  • Utilized a relational database and Active Server Pages (ASP) technology for the conversion.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Easy access to database engines and external objects is crucial for rapid and robust web application development.
  • LISP's current vendor implementations lack essential functionality for web development, making its use difficult to justify.
  • Alternative scripting environments offer advantages similar to LISP with fewer drawbacks for web applications.

Conclusions:

  • Active Server Pages (ASP) technology combined with relational databases provides a more viable environment for web application development than LISP.
  • Current LISP implementations are not well-suited for modern web application development needs.
  • Developers should consider alternative scripting environments for efficient and maintainable web application delivery.
