This short, simple video cut through 1, 000 pages of gibberish and taught me how to use sessions.
Thank you!

Thank you for giving us the minimal information that we need to understand the concept. So often, you have to learn a series of other things in a person's setup to understand what they are demonstrating.

Well This Was So Understandable Like The Way To Explain Thing With Example, But Quick Questions, even after using express-session you are using same session id ( if I'm not wrong secret : "secret-key" is session id ) you open it in chrome then firefox they both react differently why? Is session id is generated by browser itself?
