+ Career on the web
	- Freelance (2002 - 2007)
	- Frye / Wiles (2007 - 2008)
	- Neopets.com (2008 - 2009)
	- Zebra Kick (2009 - present)
	- Interviewing experience (on both sides)


+ RPC
	- Ajax: JSON vs XML vs AMF vs plain text
	- SOAP: "Simple Object Access Protocol," language neutral (XML)
+ REST:
	- Get    = fetch
	- Post   = add
	- Put    = update
	- Delete = delete


+ Database (both methods are similar to RAID 0 stripping)
	- Farm methods: replicating, proxy (load balancer for DB's), pools (distributing of tables across DB servers)
	- Sharding: partitions rows across multiple tables (same schema for each), identifiable by known ID (e.g.: hashed on the user's name, ID, etc)
	- Slicing: partitions columns across multiple tables (different schema for each)


Caching
	- Use for queries, query fragments (avoid repeating queries); processed data (avoid reprocessing); etc
+ Non-persistent methods
	- static function variables (great for storing recursive results, i.e.: fibanocci, factorial, etc; has a memory limit)
+ Persistent methods
	- memcached
	- flat file (binary, serialized, [or for non-language specific] xml, json, etc)
	- sqlite/mysql memory table
