Web Session Exercise

This is an exercise designed to help illustrate how sessions can facilitate authentication on the web. It was written for one of my students at The Firehose Project.

Fill in the route blocks in app.rb such that POSTing the accepted user credentials to '/' log the user in using the session, and display the logged in template.

With Rack::Session::Cookie, the session is accessible via a hash called session.

The solution is avalilable in the solution branch.
