Introduction

WBSP, (WhizBase Server Pages) is a general-purpose scripting tool (hypertext preprocessor) for Web development and can be embedded into HTML, XHTML, XML, RTF, ASCII, JavaScript, VBScript and any other text based file format.

Its syntax is different from any programming language  like C, Java, Perl, VB, and also form other hypertext preprocessors like PHP or ASP. It is easy to learn, and has very short learning curve before one can produce useful results.

Since its first release in 1998 it has been used for building few hundreds sites including eye catching web presentations, web applications, real-time monitoring systems, etc.

The general ideas that drove us during the development of WhizBase included:

• enable non-programmers to make dynamic content
• avoid changing the development routine of our clients
• enrich existing HTML, do not require building everything from the scratch
• make it easy for network and system administrators to build efficient intranet solutions
• make maintenance fast, simple and easy
• use self-explaining syntax easy visible in WYSIWYG editors
• make our software flexible for specific needs
• make secure environments both for developers and hosting providers
