1,848 PointsHTTPS Methods info and RESTful Routes
Hey everybody first time leaving a question on these forums! I was looking through alot of treehouses library and tracks and could on find a short video on HTTPS methods such as GET and POST. I was wondering if anyone had any additional information on those because Im really trying to understand RESTful routes and that is tied into these methods. Thanks.

Courses Plus Student 9,058 Points@Jordan Luse - what platform are you trying to use? I would suggest using rails, which while understanding restful routes would be helpful, you can create a 'resource' in the routes files which will create all the restful roots for you.

1,848 PointsThats awesome I will probably jump into rails then, I just really wanted to know what goes on under the hood before rails does alot of the work for me, I was using Sinatra with a Rails like skeleton but was just a bit confused on trying to learn more about how the routes work. Thanks for the advice and article.

Courses Plus Student 9,058 PointsJordan - I don't know EXACTLY how to find it, but the concept of the RESTful routing was actually an academic paper someone published. I printed it out some time ago, but it was over my head, but it's definitely out there. I haven't started the rails tutorial here, but the other ones I"ve tried to work through always talk about it a bit.

1,848 PointsWell I'm just trying to create a simple app with a data base of users that can login(authenticate) and create content for a page they login into such as a simple profile, this is mostly just for practice not an actual app for deployment. Thanks for the response.
