I immediately became curious as to what the deeper differences and reasoning behind having two ways to communicate the same sort of data with the database were so I made a quick search online and found this topic on the subject:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/198462/is-either-get-or-post-more-secure-than-the-other
Based on that stackoverflow topic, I feel that Treehouse could really elaborate on this in order to eliminate the (in my case) apparent need to further understand this subject past this three minute video's simplified explanation.
Or maybe a good reason NOT to worry about its apparent security implications.
Any thoughts? Reasons why it should not matter for the scope of this series? Further reasoning on why it should?
