ASP Home

What is ASP Home?

Let me explain it very clearly, step by step, like we’re sitting together with a cup of chai and I’m drawing on a whiteboard.

1. Where do you usually see “ASP Home”?

When you go to this exact page: https://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp

At the very top of the page (and in the left sidebar navigation), you will see:

ASP Tutorials ASP HOME ← this is a link WP Tutorial WebPages Intro … etc.

“ASP Home” is simply the name of the main landing page / starting page / index page of the entire ASP tutorial section on W3Schools.

It’s not a special technical term in programming. It’s just their way of saying: → “Go back to the beginning” → “Main ASP page” → “Home of the ASP lessons”

In almost every W3Schools tutorial section (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Python, etc.) they have a similar “XXX HOME” link at the top.

2. What do you actually find on the ASP Home page?

When you click ASP HOME (or directly open https://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp), you see:

• Big heading: ASP and ASP.NET Tutorials

• Short explanation:

  ASP stands for Active Server Pages ASP is a development framework for building web pages. ASP supports many different development models: • Classic ASP • ASP.NET Web Forms • ASP.NET MVC • ASP.NET Web Pages • ASP.NET API • ASP.NET Core

• Then they explain very briefly what Classic ASP is (the old one from 1998 with .asp files and VBScript)

• And they list all the sub-tutorials:

  • ASP Intro
  • ASP Syntax
  • ASP Variables
  • ASP Procedures
  • … up to ASP Examples, References, etc.

  And also the Web Pages (Razor) tutorials which are a simpler way to use ASP.NET.

So in one sentence:

ASP Home = the front door / main overview page of W3Schools’ ASP learning section.

3. Real example – how it looks in the browser

Imagine you open the page right now:

Top navigation bar shows:

ASP HOME WP Tutorial WebPages Intro WebPages Razor … etc.

And big text:

ASP and ASP.NET Tutorials

Then a table comparing different ASP models (very useful!).

Then explanation:

ASP (aka Classic ASP) was introduced in 1998… Classic ASP pages have the file extension .asp and are normally written in VBScript.

And links to start learning:

ASP Intro ASP Syntax etc.

Every time you finish a lesson and want to go back to choose the next topic → you click ASP HOME.

4. Quick comparison – to make it crystal clear

5. Is there any other meaning of “ASP Home”?

In normal programming / web development → no, there is no built-in thing called “ASP Home”.

Outside of W3Schools:

• Some people might casually say “ASP home page” meaning the default.asp / index.asp file (the starting page of an old Classic ASP website)
• But 99% of the time when someone asks “what is ASP Home?” → they saw it written exactly like that on W3Schools.

(There is also something completely different called Appalachia Service Project whose website is asphome.org — but that’s a charity for home repairs in the USA, nothing to do with programming 😅)

Summary – like a good teacher would say

“ASP Home” is not a keyword, not a command, not an object.

It is just the name of the main page where W3Schools starts teaching you ASP.

Think of it like:

• The cover page of your ASP notebook
• The home button in the tutorial menu
• The place you return to when you want to pick another lesson

So next time you see ASP HOME in blue underlined text → just smile and think: “Ah, that’s the boss level menu to choose what I want to learn next!”

Got it? 😊

If you want, tell me:

• Do you want to see the full content of that ASP Home page explained line-by-line?
• Or shall we start learning one of the real lessons (like ASP Syntax or Forms)?
• Or are you actually asking about default.asp in real Classic ASP websites?

Just say — I’m here! 🚀
