About

Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP, also known as "classic" ASP) is a server-side scripting language and dynamic web page engine. It was developed by Microsoft from 1996 to 2000 and now superseded by ASP.NET.

JavaScript is an interpreted programming language and a core technology of the web, alongside HTML and CSS, used to add interactivity and logic to websites and web applications.

It runs in all major browsers, supports event-driven and asynchronous programming, includes a standardized specification called ECMAScript, and is widely used for client-side scripting, server-side development, and cross-platform applications.
