Code in the page is like classic asp. While code behind is in a separate page and linked to the page via an asp @page declaration:
<%@ Page Language="vb" Codebehind="week21a.aspx.vb" Inherits="testdeploy2.WebForm2"%> In theory it makes code reuse easier. Difficult to work with unless you are using an IDE that supports codebehind like Visual Studio.NET. Current version sucks for web development but the 2005 version (Whidbey) is a big improvement. Its biggest advantage as far as I'm concerned is that if you have a designer and developer working together the designer doesn't have to even see much less be able to mess up the code when working on the page.

This would be in reference to an ASP.Net programming job. Goooooogle: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/100500-1.shtml And I believe it's referred to as "Code-Behind" by most and "Evil" by me.
