What are HTML, PHP, ASP, JAVA, PERL, XML, etc?
These are all programming languages (“nerd words”) that are referred to by their acronyms. PHP and ASP are essentially the same in their core uses, however, PHP is what is known as “open source”, while ASP is a Microsoft based language. “Open source” scripting languages are beneficial for the average user as you can create and write code with the help of people across the world that still believe in sharing new technologies and languages. These languages are commonly used for online forms, content management systems and other dynamic web applications.
