Active Server Pages |
: For other meanings, see ASP.
Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft s server-side technology for dynamically-generated web pages that is marketed as an add-on to Internet Information Services (IIS).
Programming ASP is also available for load testing.
Most ASP pages are written in VBScript, but any other Active Scripting engine can be selected instead by using the @Language directive. JScript (Microsoft s implementation of ECMAScript) is the other language that is usually available. PerlScript (Perl) and others are available as third-party installable Active Scripting engines.
=Versions=
ASP has gone through four major releases:
ASP.NET introduced the ability to replace in-HTML scripting with full-fledged support for Microsoft .NET languages such as Visual Basic .NET and C Sharp programming language. In-page scripting can still be used (and is fully supported), but now pages can use VB.NET and C# classes to generate pages instead of code in HTML pages.
=Apache::ASP=
[http://www.apache-asp.org/ Apache::ASP] provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server with Perl scripting only, and enables developing of dynamic web applications with session management and embedded Perl code.
