ASP
or Advanced Server Pages is a web development tool created by Microsoft.
It allows you to create dynamic, high-performance websites. ASP
gives you the ability to access databases, respond to queries, and
dynamically edit content. ASP can be written in any text editor.
The file can contain HTML, XML, and scripts. ASP scripts are executed
on the server. Being the server returns ASP as plain HTML they can
be viewed on any browser. ASP only supports interpreted VBScript
and JScript. ASP runs inside IIS (Internet Information Services)
or PWS (Personal Web Server). It comes as a free component to Windows
2000 and NT Option Pack. Programmers choose ASP over CGI and Perl
because of the simplicity, speed, and it provides security being
the scripts can not be viewed in a browser.
