Active Server Pages (ASP) - web development framework (part of .NET)

Static and Dynamic

Static web pages use HTML for content and CSS for style. Dynamic web pages require scripting, which can occur on the client side or the server-side.

Client Side - <script> //Javascript code here </script>
Server Side - C#/asp.net (PHP, Node.js, Python/Django, ...)

HTTP requests can move data between client and server

                GET https://example.com/data
                POST https://example.com/data?key1=value1&key2=value2
