Hacking ASP
I spent a few days last week updating a web mapping application, built around Image Web Server, that I wrote for a client about 5 years ago. It was like…“Who wrote this rubbish!?”.
There was a lot of Javascript spread across multiple frames. Some of it was being generated by server-side ASP code. There was also a lot of code mixed in with HTML. i.e. It was messy.
It would have been nice to be able to rewrite the application completely using XHTML, CSS positioning and refactored Javascript, but it works and the client has more important thing to be done. It’s all about ROI and getting things done.
