List of server-side scripting technologies
ASP
Microsoft designed solution allowing various languages (though generally VBscript is used) inside a HTML-like outer page, mainly used on Windows but with limited support on other platforms.
ASP.NET
Despite sharing a name with conventional ASP this system encourages the programmer to use an event driven model with controls and uses code written in the .NET bytecode compiled languages rather than scripting languages.
ColdFusion
Cross platform tag based commercial server side scripting system.
JSP
A Java-based system for embedding code in HTML pages.
SSI
A fairly basic system which is part of the common apache web server. Not a full programming environment by far but still handy for simple things like including a common menu.
Perl
Not specifically designed for web scripting but still often used either through CGI or a special apache module.
Python
Another language commonly used through CGI.
Tcl
Another language sometimes used through CGI.
PHP
Common opensource solution based on including code in its own language into an HTML page.
Server-side JavaScript
A language mostly used on the client side but also occasionally on the server side.
