i have a friend who was initially building a website in java but his developers had problems, wasted a lot of his time and money and now they are building the website in .ASP.

Is this a disadvantage for a social networking type of website if using .asp language, how about future expandablity or adaptation to i.e. applications

how about the general futureprooff of the website or the speed of the uploads/downloads of the website etc.

can anyone advice please?
 
It's not what you code it with, it's how you code it. Just simply writing the VBScript into the page is dangerous, and is completely lazy to boot. Let's say that your actual homepage contained just the HTML HEAD and BODY tags, and that all of the actual work was printed to the document using a VBScript, then you'd be a lot safer.

In addition using key tag elements such as id or name makes things safer. Defining HTML classes that can be accessed via script of CSS is better than simply coding EVERYTHING into the HTML. The more you hide the better. Like I said before, it's not what you program it with, it's how you program it.

Also, here's another interesting thought, assign keys to each anchor using a simple encryption method right after the digital handshake. Just a few ideas.
