ASP stands for Active Server Pages. ASP is a server side technology which is used to display dynamic content on the web pages. ASP is becoming popular day by day as the favorite server side technology. ASP in itself isn't a language actually, instead it uses VBScript or JScript to display dynamic content.

To quote Microsoft (who developed ASP) an Active Server Page is "the server-side execution environment in Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 3.0 [or later] that enables you to run ActiveX™ scripts and ActiveX server components on the server. By combining scripts and components, developers can create dynamic content and powerful Web-based applications easily". Okay, so what does this mean? Well basically ASP pages can create dynamic content - again to quote Microsoft - "Web pages that are customized for each user on the fly, based upon their actions or requests. For example, new visitors to your site can be shown a different welcome page than returning users see, or pages in an online catalog can be queries to a database so customers always see the most current information and availability".
