What is ASP... It is a development framework that allows you to make your web pages dynamic, including accessing databases.

What do I need to write ASP... a text editor (Notepad will do) and web server space that supports ASP (Brinkster does).

My first ASP web page... Follow the instructions below to write your first ASP web page:

NOTE: Do these steps in another browser window so that you can refer back to this page.
