In much the same way that JavaScript goes hand in hand with HTML, JScript .NET goes hand in hand with ASP.NET. The difference between these two pairs is that one pair (HTML and JavaScript) works on the client side (your PC), while the other pair (ASP.NET and JScript .NET) works on the server side (your IIS Web server). The advantage of JavaScript and JScript .NET over other scripting languages is that you can use the same language on both the client and the server. JScript. NET is indeed extended JavaScript, but we suspect the development of JScript .NET, JavaScript, and ECMAScript will become even more similar as time goes by. ASP.NET (Active Server Pages) is one of the alternatives to interact with a server. Other competitors are JSP (Java Server Pages) which is popular on Unix, and PHP which is open source software. ASP.NET also supports both the Visual Basic and C# scripting languages. To learn more on ASP.NET go here.
