Definition of ASP

Microsoft's ASP.net is a server-side scripting technology that can be used to create dynamic and interactive Web applications. An ASP.net page contains server-side scripts that are processed by a web server before being sent to the user’s browser. You can combine ASP.net with XML and HTML to create powerful interactive Web sites. ASP.net coding is more compact than ASP code and requires shorter scripts to perform a given function. The Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) is an interface used by Microsoft's IIS web server and other servers to run server-side web applications on Windows. ISAPI has also been implemented on Apache's web server to allow applications written for IIS to run on Apache.

Microsoft's ASP.net is a server-side scripting technology that can be used to create
dynamic and interactive Web applications. An ASP.net page is an HTML page that
contains server-side scripts that are processed by a web server before being sent to the
user’s browser. You can combine ASP with Extensible Markup Language (XML) and
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create powerful interactive Web sites. ASP.net
coding is more "compact" than ASP code; the scripts required to perform a given
function are shorter in ASP.net than they are in ASP.

Since the server-side script is building a regular HTML page, it can be served to almost
any browser. An ASP.net  file can be created by using any text editing tool, such as
notepad.

The Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) is an N-tier API of Internet
Information Services (IIS), Microsoft's collection of Windows-based web server services. The
most prominent application of IIS and ISAPI is Microsoft's web server.

The ISAPI has also been implemented by Apache's mod_isapi module so that server-side web
applications written for Microsoft's IIS can be used with Apache, and other third-party web
servers like Zeus Web Server offer ISAPI interfaces.
