I have been tasked with fixing bugs and adding new features to a website written in Classic ASP that basically hasn’t been touched by a developer in 8 years. I last worked with ASP about 10 years ago myself, so to say the least, I am not looking forward to having to dive back into the inevitable spaghetti code.
What tools and resources are recommended to use today for working with Classic ASP?
The good thing is that Classic ASP didn’t change in the last 10 years as well 🙂
So all you knew back then, you still know now!
Every time I want to change an old website made in ASP, i end up using a trial version of Dreamweaver (though I hate it now, but it has auto-completion of ASP code, witch sometimes can be handy), but I always go with Notepad++
I always set up the IIS and point the Virtual Directory to the folder I’m working on, and just code.
If you want a more heavy solution, run Visual Studio there are severalarticles on how to configure an Classic ASP solution to debug it.
