Personally I don't think you can really compare those options

HTML and JavaScript are client languages but ASP is a server language with very different purposes.

Well technically html is not a programming language.

As Rich said JavaScript is a client side scripting language.

If you are looking to compare serverside scripting/programming languages I think the better question would be

PHP
iHTML
PERL
ASP
ColdFusion

And others

I would have to say HTML anyone can do a simply html document, and it is very easy to learn.

HTML isn't really a programing language in most peoples' opinions, also techinically its classified as something else. Javascript and ASP are also not programing languages. If we would get more into into what you are trying to do, we could give a better answers as to which would suit your needs better.

HTML isnt a programming language.

It is, because MOST sites and books classify it as one.

It is correct in that ASP isn't a programming language, it is a description of a type of server side scripting file because you can implement multiple scripting languages in ASP.

I wouldn't class HTML as a programming language either, javascript couldn't argued for though as you can actually do some quite complicated scripting at the shell with javascript.

Many may disagree but I do class PHP, JSP as programming languages as well as Perl as you can use all of them at the shell.

Of course the 'real' programming languages are C (not C++) and assembler, etc

HTML is the easiest of those choices. I have to say this because without HTML knowledge trying to learn something like ASP, javascript, perl, php is hard. It is good to have some background knowledge on HTML.

I remember when I first started learning HTML. I took a look at it, and thought, "It's WordPerfect through Reveal Codes."

And then along came tables...

You need to know HTML for all the others. Therefore, you need to know more for all the others. Therefore, HTML is easiest.

You don't need to know HTML if you are doing server-side JavaScripting.

You do if you want to output anything to the web browser!

Yes, but you don't necessarily have to output anything to a web browser if you are doing server-side JavaScripting. Just like you don't have to know HTML to do Perl, if you are only using it for backend stuff.
