We brought Classic ASP to Linux: Check out the AxonASP video and our new live manual!

Overview

Recently, I rewrote the Classic ASP engine from scratch in Go to address Microsoft’s VBScript deprecation. I’ve put together a short video presentation showing AxonASP 2.0 in action.

A Complete Learning Hub

Older technology often suffers from disappearing forums, tutorials, and documentation. To solve this, we built not only an engine but also a modern manual that covers:

• The Basics – A friendly refresher on fundamental Classic ASP concepts.
• The Modern Extensions – Copy‑pasteable examples for using our new native Go objects inside VBScript, including:
  • G3JSON for parsing APIs
  • G3HTTP for fetching external resources
  • G3MD for rendering Markdown to HTML instantly
• Containerization – Step‑by‑step guides for using Docker containers to package 20‑year‑old apps in seconds.
• Real‑time CLI – Instructions for an interactive command‑line interface that lets you write, test, and learn ASP snippets directly from your terminal.

Eating Our Own Dog Food

The manual itself is a Classic ASP application. When you visit the link below, you’re not just reading static files—the documentation site runs live in production, powered natively by the AxonASP engine behind an Nginx reverse proxy on a Linux server. It demonstrates the performance and stability of this architecture in a real‑world scenario.
