Question

ASP in computer science stands for?
1. Abstract Service Provider
2. Application System Provider
3. Application Signal Provider
4. Active Server Pages

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Active Server Pages

The correct answer is Active Server Pages.

• An Active Server Page (ASP) is an HTML page that includes one or more scripts (small embedded programs) that are processed on a Microsoft Web server before the page is sent to the user.
• The script in the web page at the server uses input received as the result of the user's request for the page to access data from a database and then builds or customizes the page on the fly before sending it to the requestor.
• ASP is a feature of the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), but, since the server-side script is just building a regular HTML page, it can be delivered to almost any browser. 
• It was first released in December 1996, before being superseded in January 2002 by ASP.NET.

• ASP.NET is an open-source, server-side web application framework designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages.
  • It was developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic websites, applications, and services. 
• HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.
  • It is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser.
