Beginner's Guide to ASP

ASP is an Internet scripting language, like VBScript or JavaScript.

ASP is a Server-Side language: it is executed when the page is in the server. The browser only receives pure HTML code, instead of Client-Side languages, such as Javascript. Javascript scripts can have the source viewed by anyone who is browsing the page, because the source of the script is sent with the page. ASP scripts are executed into the server, then, there is no way of viewing the Script source. This is very good if you need to protect your site with a password. Since the user in not viewing the source of the script, it can not to view the password.

Other Server-side scripting languages are PHP, Perl, Python, etc...

The ASP code is similar to the VBScript code, but you can make code in JavaScript, if you instruct the ASP server to decode it like Javascript.
