Active Server Pages (ASP)

Active Server Pages, commonly referred to as ASP, is a technology developed by Microsoft that allows scripting languages such as VBScript to interact with the rendering of a web site. ASP works with the web server to process embedded scripts in a web site before sending the completed page to the user's web browser in plain HTML format. ASP allows web developers that are familiar with using Microsoft tools to have easy access to those tools in developing services for the web. ASP files contain the extension .asp.
