First experience with ASP (.NET)
First and last experience with ASP (.NET)
In 2001, we experimented with Exchange Service, a prototype for an online money exchange point.
The project was commissioned as a test build, with the unusual requirement that it be developed on ASP (.NET) — Microsoft’s web programming system, new at the time.
Key details of Exchange Service
-
🖥️ Prototype of an online exchange service.
-
💻 Built using ASP (.NET), our very first exposure to the framework.
-
🧩 Implemented “tricky” programming solutions to meet client requests.
-
🧪 The project never moved beyond the test version.
Significance
While Exchange Service did not go into production, it became an important learning milestone.
The project gave us hands-on experience with ASP (.NET) in its early 2001 version — knowledge that remains useful today when discussing technology choices with clients.
👉 On this project we ended our experiments with ASP, and never returned to the platform again.
