ROUTES

Admit it, no matter where you were raised you have heard of the famous Route 66!What about a Route 44 from your favorite burger place, Sonic. There are so many uses and meanings for the word Route, and somehow I feel like I am about to enlighten you on the one meaning you do not know about. When thinking of routes in the eye of the developer, imagine it like the highway version, except for instead of cars its code that is traveling. That’s right folks it is that simple. You decide where the traffic signs are placed and have the power to direct traffic in any way that you want. Once we get to a little better understanding of them I may even talk to you about protected routes. Long story short these would be like toll roads where you have to have special credentials to gain access to the toll way.

Something that I have learned about this week in class are routes. I’m sure most of you already had that sense with the amazing intro that was provided.
