A server side scripting language developed by Microsoft. While it does outclass Perl in terms of effectiveness and ease of use, php does offer more to the average web developer in terms of reliability, speed, and a shorter learning curve. It is also worth noting that ASP 3.0 comes in two flavours, VBScript and JavaScript.
<%@ language="VBScript" %>
<%
Response.Write("this is ASP")
Response.Write("<br />")
If Request.Querystring("action") = "page1" Then
Response.Write("you selected page 1")
Else
Response.Write("You selected some other page")
End If
%>
<%
Response.Write("this is ASP")
Response.Write("<br />")
If Request.Querystring("action") = "page1" Then
Response.Write("you selected page 1")
Else
Response.Write("You selected some other page")
End If
%>

An acronym for 'At Some Point.' In colloquial use, most people would follow it with "..... " to imply that they'll get to something or do something later--probably not at all. In practice, it serves as an antithetical synonym to ASAP. Whereas 'ASAP' implies immediate action, 'ASP' is quite the opposite -- the likelihood of action is extremely low -- you're getting blown off... Conveniently, 'ASP' is also a plausible typo of 'ASAP' further adding to its popularity when responding to a boss's requests.
