- NEW!

The answer is basically correct, but here are a few modifications:
Not all programming languages are compiled the same. C/C++ and VB are compiled languages, Java can be considered compiled or not depending on your definition of compiled. Perl is interpretted and very much considered a language... there are others that fall into this category as well.
ASP is a construct of JScript, VBScript or C# and is not really a language as much as a way of using a language for server side development.
JSP is a shortcut method for developing servlets. JSP pages are converted to Java source code and then compiled into servlets.
The markup language information is a little out-dated. HTML is used for web page development and is viewed in a browser, while XML is used for any kind of data. It is "human-readable" in that you can view the text it is constructed from, though it may mean little to you. XML can be used to create and define other MLs such as MathML, SMIL, SVG, or XML-RPC. None of these represent text documents, they represent mathematical equations, multimedia content, vector graphics and remote procedure callls respectively.
