ASP is simply a scripting type languange ( a subset of VB ) which allows for dynamic interaction between the user and the web server. this is accomplished using vbscript to manipulate user input by transferring code to the server ( compiling it ) , abd the web server creates a HTML page as a result. So for example in a web page you might search for someone name begining with "H". With ASP ( via VB script ) you would generate a command object, connection object and submit the SQL command to the server which would process this and return a HTML page.
This is a very brief 9 vague ) overview, there is a host of other things involved with ASP.
