URI audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Welcome. Today's word is URI — a noun and an abbreviation, pronounced you-are-eye, with the IPA /ˌjuː.ɑːrˈaɪ/.
Narrator: URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier — a string of characters that names or locates a resource on the internet.
Narrator: In plain English, a URI is an address or a name for something online — a page, an image, a file, or even an idea.
Narrator: It's the wider family — a URL, the web address you type, is one kind of URI, the kind that also tells you where to find it.
Narrator: It was coined in the early days of the web by the engineers who built its foundations, to give every resource a clear identifier.
Narrator: Over time URI became the formal, all-embracing term, while URL stayed the everyday word people actually say out loud.
Narrator: Its register is technical and precise, living in specifications, documentation, and the quiet plumbing of the web.
Narrator: Remember it this way: a URI names a resource. Every URL is a URI, but a URI can simply name a thing, not just locate it.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: I was reading the docs for an API and they kept saying URI instead of URL — I always thought they were the same thing.
Speaker B: Easy mix-up. A URI just identifies a resource; a URL is the kind of URI that also tells you where to find it.
Speaker A: Right. So 'every endpoint has its own URI' means each one has a unique identifier I can point to.
Speaker B: Quick tip — in casual chat people say URL, but in specs and code you'll often see the broader word URI used carefully.
Speaker A: True. And 'the request URI was malformed' means the address string itself was written wrongly.
Speaker B: Exactly. Just don't assume URI always means a clickable link — it might only name a thing, not locate it.
Speaker A: Is URL a synonym then?
Speaker B: Almost. URL is a subset — it's a URI that includes the location. So all URLs are URIs, but not the other way round.
Speaker A: Helpful. So I'll say each resource has a URI, meaning its own clear identifier.
Speaker B: Perfect use — a name or address for a resource.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Today we'll use the word URI, meaning a resource identifier, to prompt an AI for clean routes, API design, and tidy web addresses.
Speaker A: Useful — every web app is built on addresses, so a URI theme fits routing, REST APIs, and link handling perfectly.
Speaker B: Let's start with clean routes.
Prompt: Design a REST API where each resource has a clear, readable URI, use plain nouns in every URI like users and orders, and keep each URI lowercase and consistent so the whole API is easy to read and remember.
Speaker B: The word URI tells the AI to think in resource addresses, so it builds tidy, predictable routes instead of messy ad-hoc ones.
Speaker A: Useful. What about validating a link?
Prompt: Add a validator that checks any URI a user pastes, confirm the URI is well-formed before saving it, show a clear error for a broken URI, and never store a malformed URI in the database.
Speaker B: Now the database — keep names plain.
Prompt: Design a database schema for bookmarks that stores each URI with a title and tags, index the URI column for fast lookups, and stop the same URI being saved twice for one user.
Speaker A: Clear. Could one prompt build a redirect tool?
Prompt: Build a link shortener that maps a short code to a long URI, redirect visitors from the short URI to the real one, and track how many times each URI was opened in a simple dashboard.
Speaker B: For an image gallery, lean on addresses.
Prompt: Build an image gallery that loads each picture from its URI, show a placeholder while a URI loads, and display a friendly icon whenever an image URI fails so the layout never breaks.
Speaker A: One more — a sitemap?
Prompt: Generate a sitemap that lists every public page URI on my site, group the URIs by section, and update the list automatically whenever a new page URI is added so search engines stay current.
Speaker B: See the pattern: the word URI steers the AI toward clean routes and tidy addresses, perfect for APIs and links. Precise and memorable.
Speaker A: Love it. URI means a resource identifier — I'll keep it for routing, API design, and link-validation prompts.
