  1. I'd like to learn more about the get and post methods

    Students really struggle with this, even in CS 304. It's actually somewhat complicated and multi-faceted. Here are a few short things:

    There's a difference in format: form data in the URL (GET) vs in the BODY of the request (POST)

    There's a difference in usage: GET is used for retrieving (GET-ing) data vs POST is used for submitting (POST-ing) data.

    Consequently, browsers and servers treat them differently with respect to resubmission.

    If you want to really dig into it, you can read my cs304 material on GET vs POST

  2. There is nothing else I would like to talk about. / Nothing, it was pretty clear! / the readings made sense
