==Big Picture==
The word "server" can refer to a computer ("box") or a piece of software (for example, ''SQL Server''). [[Microsoft]]'s web server application software is called [[Internet Information Services]], which is made up of a number of "sub-applications" and is very configurable. [[ASP.NET]] is one such slice of IIS, allowing a programmer to write web applications in his or her choice of programming language (Visual Basic, C#, J#) that's supported by the Microsoft .NET CLR. '''ISAPI''' is a much lower-level programming system, giving much better performance, at the expense of complexity. While Microsoft is generally credited with the creation of the ISAPI specification, it was actually codeveloped by Process Software and Microsoft with input from a small number of other vendors.<ref>[http://wasd.vsm.com.au/ht_root/doc/scripting/scripting_0600.html ISAPI<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
