Chapter 10 -- Implementing Server-Side Solutions

Server-side scripts run on a Web server rather than on a client. The Web server processes and generates the HTML pages that are returned to the Web browser. This differs from traditional Web server models because now the Web server has to create HTML content dynamically while serving pages to clients . Any controls or components you use in a server-side script must exist and run on the Web server.

Pages that include server-side script are called Active Server Pages (ASP) and use the .asp extension. ASP provides functionality to Web pages through the use of a script language. ASP automatically supports the VBScript and JScript languages; however, any script language can be used as long as there is a corresponding script engine to interpret the script. This lesson describes how ASP is used, and introduces you to the Adventure Works Web site, a sample ASP Web site.


After this lesson, you will be able to:
  • Explain how server-side scripts run.
  • List the elements of an Active Server Page.
  • List the types of syntax that ASP supports.
  • Describe how ASP works.
