ASP is an acronym for Active Server Pages. This is a model by which a scripting language is used to create web pages. These web pages contain script (usually VBScript or JavaScript) that is executed on the server. The purpose is to make your web pages interactive and not merely static information. This discussion forum is written using ASP. However, you will not see any special coding because the script is executed at the server and not sent to the client. This script can be used to accomplish a multitude of tasks, from updating or reading from a database or sending an email to modifying the servers file system (carefully).
