Active Server Pages (ASP)History

• ASP was created in 1996 originally known as
  Denali
• Based on Microsofts Visual Basic Script
• It was an easier way to create dynamic content on
  web pages

3
ASP Overview

• Commonly used on e-commerce websites
• Files created with ASP have the extension .ASP
• An ASP file can contain any combination of HTML
  ,scripting such as VBScript and JavaScript, and
  components written in any language
• ASP code is mixed with HTML tags

4
How it works

• When a file is requested, the server interprets
  ASP code
• Server then sends HTML file back to browser that
  made the request
• The browser never sees ASP code

5
Language Features

• Built for server-side processing, not client-side
  processing
• Easy to code
• Does not require any special editor/compiler

Comparisons

• ASP does not support Object-Oriented Programming
• It is more specialized, compared to other
  languages
• The larger a web application, the more it needs
  true application programming traits, which ASP
  doesnt incorporate
