Active Server Pages [ASP]
A server side scripting language developed by Microsoft. While it does outclass Perl in terms of effectiveness and ease of use, php does offer more to the average web developer in terms of reliability, speed, and a shorter learning curve. It is also worth noting that ASP 3.0 comes in two flavours, VBScript and JavaScript.
<%@ language="VBScript" %>
<%
Response.Write("this is ASP")
Response.Write("<br />")
If Request.Querystring("action") = "page1" Then
Response.Write("you selected page 1")
Else
Response.Write("You selected some other page")
End If
