General Web Programming/designing Question: ?
- by Prasad
hi,
I have been in web programming for 2 years (Self taught - a biology researcher by profession). I designed a small wiki with needed functionalities and a scientific RTE - ofcourse lot is expected. I used mootools framework
and AJAX extensively.
I was always curious when ever I saw the query strings passed from URL. Long encrypted query string directly getting passed to the server. Especially Google's design is such. I think this is the start of providing a Web Service to a client - I guess.
Now, my question is : is this a special, highly professional, efficient / advanced web design technique to communicate queries via the URL ?
I always felt that direct URL based communication is faster. I tried my bit and could send a query through the URL directly. here is the link: http://sgwiki.sdsc.edu/getSGMPage.php?8
By this , the client can directly link to the desired page instead of searching and / or can automate. There are many possibilities.
The next request: Can I be pointed to such technique of web programming?
oops: I am sorry, If I have not been able to convey my request clearly.
Prasad.
