.asp stands for Active Server Pages. It is Microsoft's technology for displaying web pages. It is analogous to .jsp which stands for Java Server Pages which is Sun's technology for displaying web pages. Standard browser pages are coded with html (Hypertext Markup language). A .asp or .jsp page has proprietary coding that gets preprocessed on the web server which then sends html to the browser.

More than you probably ever wanted to know...
