  2. Active Server Pages (ASP)History • ASP was created in 1996 originally known as “Denali” • Based on Microsoft’s 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

  6. ASP Example • <% str = “<br>The time is “ & Time() & “<br>” %> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Example</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <% Response.Write str %> </BODY> </HTML>

  7. ASP Example Output • <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Example</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <br>The time is 12:00<br> </BODY> </HTML>

  8. 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 doesn’t incorporate
