Helped me make decisions

Active Server Programming (ASP)

If you learn VBA learning ASP is pretty easy.

The website you're on was created using ASP.

I've developed a process in Microsoft Excel that assists me when editing ASP files.

The Excel spreadsheet supports the following features:

Saves a backup of what you're working on
Automatically uploads changed file to the server
Autosaves itself if it hasn't been saved in 20 minutes
Looks for syntax errors before uploading to server
Tracks the number of times per day the file was edited.
