Stamp Out Spam by Vicki Nelson
How to fight back against spam and reclaim your inbox. As you may know, the volume of spam messages sent across the Internet
has reached epidemic levels. Some industry experts estimate that three
out of every five e-mail messages that are sent today are spam. The spam
epidemic is costing companies, professionals, and individual users
considerable amounts of time, money, and resources.
What is spam, and what can I do about it? Spam
is generally defined as an unsolicited mailing, usually sent to many
recipients. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious
products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs
the sender very little to send. Most of the costs are paid by the
recipient or the carriers rather than the sender. Some effective methods
for preventing your e-mail address from being captured, sold or abused
by spammers in the full version of this article. Click the title to read more.

 OOP topic (classic post):
ASP Classic Constructors (Class_Initialize) by Mike Prestwood
When an object instance is created from a class, ASP calls a special parameter-less sub named Class_Initialize. Since you cannot specify parameters for this sub, you also cannot overload it.
When a class is destroyed, ASP calls a special sub called Class_Terminate.
OOP topic (classic post):
ASP Classic Member Visibility (Private, Public) by Mike Prestwood
The member visibility modifiers are Private and Public. If not specified, the default is Public. Private and Public have the usual meaning. Private members are visible only within the class block. Public members are visible within the class and outside of the class.

Code Snippet of the Month
When an object instance is destroyed, ASP calls a special parameter-less sub named Class_Terminate. For example, when the variable falls out of scope. Since you cannot specify parameters for this sub, you also cannot overload it.

Run ASP pages on Linux/Unix! This software was originally developed by ChiliSoft.
Sun Java System Active Server Pages software allows organizations to deploy Active Server Pages (ASP)-based web applications on a variety of web servers and operating systems. ASP applications currently supported by Microsoft IIS can now be powered by the Java System Web Server for increased security. Legacy ASP applications running on Windows NT can be transitioned to the Solaris Operating System for ongoing maintenance and support.

Resource Link of the Month: 4 Guys from Rolla
Very popular ASP Classic and now ASP.Net website.
ASP Classic Topic:
Question: How do you find last Monday? I want to return a date for last Monday or today if today is Monday.
Answer:
While Weekday(ADate) <> vbMonday
ADate = DateAdd("d", -1, ADate)
WEnd
You could wrap this up in a function as follows:
Function SU_GetLastDOW(ADate, AWeekDayConst)
While Weekday(ADate) <> AWeekDayConst
ADate = DateAdd("d", -1, ADate)
WEnd
SU_GetLastDOW = ADate
End Function
