ASP is a technology that enables you to make dynamic and interactive web pages. ASP uses server-side scripting to dynamically produce web pages that are not affected by the type of browser the web site visitor is using. There are two different flavors of this technology – ASP and ASP.NET.

In ASP.NET, major weight is on n-tier architecture in the application development and there is separation of data presentation, business logic and data access layers. In classic ASP, these layers are mixed leading to the development of ineffective solutions with a huge architecture that are difficult to sustain.

The .NET compliant languages can be used with ASP.NET like C# and VB.NET, where both of them are server-sided languages. With ASP, only VBScript and Javascript are available as options to be used. In addition, ASP pages are interpreted and the ASP.net code is compiled .Traditional ASP can run only on Microsoft platforms but ASP.NET can be executed on non- Microsoft platforms.

In classic ASP, the executable code cannot be separated from the HTML. This makes the page difficult to read and maintain. The code block has to be placed when ever the output is to be displayed. The use of ASP.NET pages gives a performance and security edge and supports the usage of any .Net language.
