Ask HN: Is there a phrase for this kind of development
Hi.
I am doing front end JavaScript work that uses ajax calls as a means to send objects to PHP where they are decoded/encoded and stored in MySQL. The same pattern is used to retrieve them. I don't use PHP for anything else other than as a 'mailman' to store data in MySQL. I write the front and back end (PHP).
I am curious if their is a common phrase used to describe this form of development.
Ok.That is all.
Rich internet application, client-server, or fat client/thick client development, or more generally, service-oriented architecture
