Active Server Pages

This section describes information about developing dynamic Web content using Active Server Pages (ASP). ASP pages are written in a scripting language such as VBScript, JScript, or PerlScript. By using a scripting language, ASP pages can produce individualized HTML output that is sent to the client. ASP pages are fast, but not as fast as the more advanced application development technologies such as COM components or ISAPI extensions.

For examples of ASP pages, see Creating ASP Pages.
