~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. OTHER VOICES: An Overview of ASP+, Cookies and ColdFusion, WAP: An Introduction, Secrets of SMIL Revealed
>An Overview of ASP+
The next version of ASP is not going to be ASP 4.0. It is instead going to be called ASP+, and what a difference that plus sign makes. This is a whole new system built from the ground up that takes the strong points of ASP and tries to expand on them, but at the same time fixes many of the shortcomings of the existing ASP implementation. http://www.asp101.com/aspplus/index.asp ASP101.com, 0007
>Cookies and ColdFusion
Nowadays, cookies have become almost as commonplace on the Web as images or tables. Because cookies are so ubiquitous, they've become an essential tool; any Web developer worth his salt must be able to use them. Learn how to make a "cookie crumb" trail for your visitors with ColdFusion. http://www.webmonkey.com/00/29/index3a.html?tw=programming WebMonkey.com, 000712
>WAP - An Introduction
Wireless Application Protocol, or WAP, is a term that seems to be everywhere at the moment. You can hardly browse the Web without seeing some mention of it, usually in a technical context that won't help you very much in working out what all the fuss is about. Now, you can learn what it is and the basics of creating a deck. http://www.asptoday.com/articles/20000717.htm ASPToday.com, 000717
>Secrets of SMIL Revealed

>IAM Sues Razorfish for Poor Design
In this business you're only as good as your homepage. Apparently IAM.com thinks its homepage is really not that good. The talent- casting site blames Razorfish, a popular Web design firm, for delivering a homepage it calls "flawed." http://www.thestandard.com/article/display/0,1151,16831,00.html TheStandard.com, 000714
