This encoding scheme (URL encoding) is a standard way of doing things. 
What your web programmer is telling you is a "normal" way of doing things 
that pretty much everybody uses.  (It's either this way or XML)

The encoding routines will automatically insert the '&' characters for 
you.  But, you do have to insert the '?' manually.

Take a look at EXAMPLE14, it shows you an actual example of this process.
