Software Tools and Technologies
Active Server Pages (ASP) provide a framework for building dynamic HTML pages which
enable Internet and Intranet applications to be interactive. They are implemented
using server side scripting that can be performed in any language such as Visual
Basic, Microsoft's JScript, Java or C. Originally developed for the Microsoft's
IIS web server, it can now be used on other servers as well.
ActiveX controls, formerly known as OLE controls or OCX controls,
are components (or objects) you can insert into a Web page or other
application to reuse packaged functionality previously programmed.
For example, the ActiveX controls that are included with Microsoft
Internet Explorer version 3.0 allow you to enhance your Web pages with
sophisticated formatting features and animation.
From the early days of the web, when the only thing that moved
on your screen was the mouse cursor - there's now a bewildering array of
methods for animating pages. Here's a selection.
Java (tm) is a simple, robust, dynamic, multi-threaded, general-purpose,
object-oriented, platform-independent programming environment, created
and developed by Sun Microsystems.

JavaScript is a compact, object-based scripting language for developing
client and server Internet applications. JavaScript statements can be
embedded directly in an HTML page. These statements can recognize and
respond to user events such as mouse clicks, form input, and page
navigation.
