.ASPFile extension ASP description:
Microsoft Active Server Page source code script fileUsed to create dynamicaly generated websites and webpage content.
ASP is Microsoft's proprietary answer to PHP. Technically, ASP is not a scripting language; it's an open standard object model for web services, or something along those lines. So, although the vast majority of ASP pages are written in Microsoft's VisualBasic, they can actually be written in any language for which an ASP thingy has been written. Presently, this means you could also write ASP pages in JavaScript or PerlScript, and maybe one or two others I haven't heard of. The defining characteristic that makes it ASP is the way that you access the 'Write' method of the 'Server' object in order to output "Hello World!".
But hell, if you're going to be tying yourself to Microsoft you might as well just write your ASP in VisualBasic and get the full benefits of vertical integration.
ASP code is inserted into static HTML pages with <% %> tags by default, although these tags can be changed to anything you would like. So, like, if you were a PHP programmer forced by his workplace to use ASP, you could change those percentage signs to question marks.
Microsoft has added a lot of extensions to ASP that are very difficult to find information on in a google search because they are the same as top-level domains, like COM and .NET. As far as I understand it, COM added the ability to write some code for your ASP pages in a separate file, compile it to assembly, and register it as a service with the operating system. You just have to make your code in the form of an object, which you instantiate from within your scripts to use it. Thus, you can write code for the web in C++ or whatever, and get really fast speeds. The .Net thing, on the other hand, was just a whole bunch of new features added to ASP.
You'll tend to see ASP pages on the types of sites that get suckered in to full Microsoft vertical integration. Which is to say, banks, business folks, and other people who just don't understand computers. If, for some godforsaken reason, you have to write a webapp for a Microsoft SQL database, or if the only web server you can use is IIS, you wouldn't do too bad to use ASP. You'll just have a hell of a time finding a decent web host.
