No, HTML programming is used for HTML websites that stay the same. ASP hosting allows for dynamic websites that change the way the viewer experiences them--and it uses a different type of programming.

====

Here is an example of what I mean...

ASP page, called: hw.asp; contains the following code:

<%

Response.Write("<p>Hello, world</p>")

%>

NOTE: ASP/Active Server Pages code is surrounded by a open and close pair of: <%...ASP code goes inside here...%>

Now, when the user types into their browser the URL for that page...

http://www.somewebaddress.com/hw.asp

...the web server computer will execute the ASP code on the server itself; then, return back to the client browser the resulting HTML codes...; so, this is what the user will see inside of their browser whenever they chose: View Source...

<p>Hello, world</p>

NOTE: They do NOT get to see the ASP code: <%...%> inside of their web browser at all. This means that because ASP code is executed entirely server side; thus, it really doesn't matter what platform calls the page...Linux/Max/Windows...none of these platforms will need to understand ASP code...instead, they only need to understand HTML which is being returned back to their web browser software that called the ASP page: (.asp).

Is internet programming really different from other programming paradigms.If yes How. As of today which different platforms are popularly used for Internet Programming. Compare them?

Internet programming is something totally different from other programming paradigms. I have a little programming experience with C and C++. And I have a good experience with HTML,CSS,PHP and SQL. All web pages consist of HTML tags. In fact the HTML tags represent the page. HTML programming is much easier than C/C++. And no matter what programming languages or frameworks (PHP,ADO,ASP .NET(C#,VB),SQL) we use they are embedded in HTML code while programming web applications. But this is not the case with computer programming. In fact web programming is much much easier than computer programming. it is enjoyable as well!!! But if you program webpages with Flash and ActionScript the webpages get totally different. At first you need to create a SWF file via Flash and ActionScript and then embed it in your web page via HTML.
