Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript)

A scripting language developed by Microsoft and supported by Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser.

Simplified version of the Visual Basic programming language, making it easy for programmers to move between writing VBScript scripts and writing Visual Basic programs.
VBScript can run on Web clients or servers.
It is similar to JavaScript, enables Web authors to include interactive controls, such as buttons and scrollbars, on their Web pages.

Visual Basic -

A programming language and environment developed by Microsoft. Based on the BASIC language, Visual Basic was one of the first products to provide a graphical programming environment and a paint metaphor for developing user interfaces. Instead of worrying about syntax details, the Visual Basic programmer can add a substantial amount of code simply by dragging and dropping controls, such as buttons and dialog boxes, and then defining their appearance and behavior.

Active Server Pages (ASP)

A specification for a dynamically created Web page with a .ASP extension, ASP pages are similar to CGI scripts, but they enable Visual Basic programmers to work with familiar tools.

Server-generated pages which can call other programs to do things like access databases
Serve different pages to different browsers-basically, anything formerly done with CGI.
Not a language but a technology created by Microsoft.

VBScript is the usual scripting language used with ASP. Developers using ASP insert dynamic content within Web page templates by including special tags in the template that contain a scripting language, such as VBScript or JavaScript. These scripts can automatically generate "active" content when the page is sent to the client.
ASPs may be created in any text editor, but Microsoft's FrontPage creates ASPs with built-in VBScipt programming using a GUI.
