At first glance, you might think that the Disciple of URL Design is a relatively narrow subject. Au Contraire my good reader, the subject of URL Design is miles deep and oceans wide.

So be aware that URL Design extends mightily into almost all aspects of web and software design, and as such studying URL Design, understanding what constitutes a good URL design, and defining URL Design Best Practices can bring great benefits for all.
