Excerpts:
“Our group is using APGen on our intranet site to generate content from SQL and VSS databases.  The technique of "two phase content generation" solves the problems associated with using static HTML by separating content from presentation while still reaping the benefits of static HTML (performance, reliability, "friendlier URLs", etc.).  With APGen driving our site, we can now leverage our dynamic information sources to produce robust navigation experiences for our users.  Turning our dynamic site into a static site has reduced the problems associated with traditional database publishing techniques.”

“APGen is a very useful tool if you are running a high-volume website that needs to display large amounts of infrequently changing data from a database.  We've used it to successfully pre-render "home pages" for over 560 locations on our website goldsgym.com.  The club owner/manager can update the information that appears on the "home-page".

Scalability is a primary benefit -- it definitely minimizes database and network traffic.”

Excerpt:
“... ASPCache has two considerable advantages:

• The ASPCache Object is approximately 400 to 500 times faster than the CAPRock-Dictionary. This fact has been verified in a loop with 10,000 iterations and includes both reading and writing data.
• The quantity of items in the ASPCache object can be limited to a certain maximum number. Thus we can make sure that the memory used by cached data does not overflow the available system memory.

Excerpt:
“Fortunately, WebGecko’s APGen product provided everything that we needed to meet our objectives. In addition, APGen allowed us to make the necessary changes in a short period of time. We have found that we could port existing ASP pages over in as little as 5 minutes per ASP page. The example code provided with APGen is a HUGE benefit - we used the site generator code, from the sample provided, to create the builder for our site. This took less than 1 hour. We are seeing performance gains of 300% on ASP pages because we eliminated the dynamic code or 90% of the dynamic code. This is giving us major new capacity headroom on our Web server and database server.

Overall we have found APGen to be easy to use and understand. We highly recommend this tool to any ASP programmer looking to beef up their site performance and capacity with minimal effort.”

Excerpt:
“The one design feature that distinguished APGen from its competitors and any internal tools that I've used, is that APGen is a development environment designed specifically for programmatically generating content. With its logging capabilities, ActiveScript debugging integration, and COM support, APGen allows a Web developer to create a reliable and well integrated system for creating Web content. APGen is not a Swiss army knife. APGen is not a "site in a box". APGen is a valuable and versatile development tool and in my opinion a must have for any professional Web developer.”
