Some useful W3C documents
This is a post imported from my previous blog. But it’s still noteworthy.
HTTP GET/POST
When I interview somebody for a web-related technical position, I use to ask what the differences between GET and POST are. I have heard almost all creative (but wrong) answers about that, but very few guys have answered it quiet well.
Besides the HTTP specification where it is stated the capital difference between those methods (GET is semantically idempotent, POST isn’t) and a lot of consequences, fortunately today I found an article (a finding as they call it) from the Technical Architecture Group (TAG) that will help to understand those consequences about the intrinsic difference by exposing well documented examples as to reinforce the specification points regards this topic. The whole TAG findings list is also available.
Architecture of the World Wide Web as a W3C Proposed Recommendation
These guys stated that the Architecture of the World Wide Web was a Proposed Recommendation. This is a very well documented reference for those who want to get the benefits of a number of recommendations from the W3C on their web sites or applications. This is also a TAG work.
