CGI is much faster than using ASP and CGI is platform independent unlike ASP where its just a microsoft technology.Amazon.com, yahoo.com, and ebay.com write their website in C++ and cgi. Its much more efficent and faster.

if im correct, I beliece CGI can be more secure. I believe that ASP is more vulnerable to SQL attakcs, which can be very threatening.

CGI is a much older and much less efficient standard. the main problem with CGI is that each request fires a new process for the CGI script regardless of the language.On the otherhand, newer technologies like ASP and JSP/Servlet and PHP execute requests as threads within the Web Server process - much more secure (re. system crashes), scaleable and efficient. CGI is also pretty bare-bones and you got to be good at pattern-matching coding and lower-level coding, although I am sure you can find heaps of useful CGI scripts and code snippets to use.ASP/Java/PHP all give you lots of built in features for example to handle POST data.Now I am not exactly a big fan of ASP, I much prefer PHP or Java; but i would still choose ASP over CGI. And I am not sure about what improvements .NET has added aside from what microsoft ripped off from Java (i.e. auto garbage collection).best regards,- arp

I think ASP is much better than CGI. ASP is newest than CGI, it has more options, and you can simply create big web applications (using ASP). On the other hand, it's true that ASP is slower than CGI, but in the future nobody will use CGI--eldeo

I Personaly prefer asp. Cgi and/or perl are very dificult languages.Asp is more "ACTIVE", if you know what i mean.But, none of this is my favorite...flash or actionscript,javascript and html working all together are my real favorite languages relating to making websites.Carpe diem.

Beside the fact that ASP is a closed-source language, this technology is really misfit and ineffective to web programming...

Which is better depends on your needs, and the type of scripts you want to create. I prefer CGI because it's more difficult for me (I don't know why, but I seem to like harder things if it's about computers...). Both can create unique pages, but each has it's own advantages. However, ASP probably will have most of CGI's best features later on. However, ASP is mainly for Windows (it is on others, but you don't see that much), so that's another reason I prefer CGI over ASP.
