What is ASP?

ASP is acronym for Active Server Page. It’s Server side script language developed by Microsoft. When ASP file is request by the browser, the browser does not send the page back to the client browser instead its content is interpreted & processed by the server. ASP is also script language that you combine with HTML document if your server supports ASP. The default language is VBScript. However, you can specify to use JavaScript or perlScript. If you are building E-commerce page, ASP is your ideal language or one of the languages on your choice list.
