Microsoft® Active Server Pages (ASP) is a server-side scripting technology that can be used to create dynamic and interactive Web applications. An ASP page is an HTML page that contains server-side scripts that are processed by the Web server before being sent to the user's browser. You can combine ASP with Extensible Markup Language (XML), Component Object Model (COM), and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create powerful interactive Web sites.

This website explains how to create ASP pages (.asp files) that use the fundamental features of HTML, ASP, and VBScript.

In Module One, I learn how to create an ASP page, use a text editor to insert script commands into an HTML page. Saving the page with an .asp file name extension tells the Web server how to process the script commands. To view the results of a script, request the page using a Web browser. VBScript is the default scripting language for ASP. I learned how to use forms to send information, how to create a sign-in book on your ASP page for visitors to your Web site, how to display an Excel spreadsheet on an ASP page, how to create a guest book.

In Module 2, I learn how to rotate ads on your Web page randomly and how to use a page counter to track the number of hits a page receives.
