Dynamic Web-Based Business Processing Systems Using Active Server Pages

Virtually every business organization is considering how to re-engineer appropriate business processes to utilize the Web to increase efficiency. The importance of event-driven application development in a relational database environment has become the primary model applied in business and web commerce related activities. By providing students with a fundamental understanding of how these information systems can be re-engineered to work efficiently in a web-based environment, we can help prepare the next generation of business professionals with a solid working knowledge to enable them to achieve rapid productivity in real world business environments. This paper presents a Case study that describes a practical and manageable methodology which can be utilized to educate students concerning the concepts and skills necessary to design, develop, and implement dynamic web-based business processing systems. This case will provide the reader with the conceptual, practical, and technical knowledge necessary to understand the fundamentals of these web-based processing systems, and to explicitly describe how to develop these effective systems with a minimal amount of hardware and software resources
