Dynamic Web Pages
Microsoft ASP
Microsoft® Active Server Pages (ASP) is a server-side scripting environment that you can use to create interactive Web pages and build powerful Web applications. When the server receives a request for an ASP file, it processes server-side scripts contained in the file to build the Web page that is sent to the browser. In addition to server-side scripts, ASP files can contain HTML (including related client-side scripts) as well as calls to COM components that perform a variety of tasks, such as connecting to a database or processing business logic.

Microsoft & Web Services The basic idea behind Web services is to adapt the loosely coupled Web programming model for use in applications that are not browser-based. The goal is to provide a platform for building distributed applications using software running on different operating systems and devices, written using different programming languages and tools from multiple vendors, all potentially developed and deployed independently.
Oracle & Web Services enable application to application interaction over the Web regardless of platform, language, or data formats. The key ingredients, including XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, have been adopted across the entire software industry. Web services usually refer to services implemented and deployed in middle-tier application servers.
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), an XML based object protocol for the exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment.
