ASP

Classic ASP is a server-side scripting environment used to create dynamic web pages through VBScript or JScript integration.

Active Server Pages (ASP) debuted in 1996 as part of IIS 3.0, revolutionizing web development by allowing code execution on the server before sending HTML to the client. It relies on the Windows Script Host and typically utilizes VBScript to interact with COM components like ADO for database connectivity. While succeeded by ASP.NET in 2002, Classic ASP remains operational on modern Windows Servers (IIS 10) to support legacy enterprise applications and high-speed server-side logic.
