AppletThis is a small program that can be embedded into an HTML page. Unlike Java, they are not allowed to access certain resources on the local computer like serial devices (i.e. modems, printers, etc) and files; they are also prohibited from communicating with most other computers across a network. In general the current rule is that an applet can only make an Internet connection to the computer from which the applet was sent.
ASPActive Server Pages. A Microsoft Web Server scripting environment. These allow scripts on a Web page to be run on the Server before the file is transmitted to the client. ASP provides a great way of integrating databases, business logic and display code into fast, dynamic and configurable Web pages that connect to back-end databases.
ASP.NETA set of .NET classes used to create Web-based, client-side (Web Form) and server-side (Web Service) applications. ASP.net is different from ASP in two major ways: it supports code written in compiled languages like C++, Visual Basic, and Perl, and, it features server controls that can separate the code from the content, allowing WYSIWYG editing of pages.
