• User interaction (making the site "do" stuff)

Overview

I create online web applications that specialize in database connectivity and user interaction.

Examples: Google or Facebook

Example: Google

After performing a Google search, you are brought to a Search Results page. You always go to the same web site no matter what you type in, but the results differ depending on the terms you searched. Google did not create billions of different "Results Pages" for every possible combination of words. Instead, Google basically created two pages: a page to type in what you want to search, and a page to display the results. The content of the Search Results page is created dynamically from a database, dependent on what you typed in on the first page.

Overview | Facebook Example

Example: Facebook

The people who work at Facebook do not create a new profile page for every user who signs up. Whenever a change is made to a profile, an e-mail is not sent to Facebook for an employee to update the profile. Instead, the change is instantly updated in a database. Facebook did not make millions of individual profile pages, one for each user; but rather one generic template profile page, and the content of it changes depending on the person's profile you are viewing.
