5. GET "/tasks/new" - display the form to create a new task with the :new view
6. POST "/tasks" - write a task to the database, and redirect back to "/tasks"
7. GET "/tasks/:id/edit" - display the form for editing an existing task with the :edit view
8. PUT/PATCH "tasks/:id" - update a specific task in the database with new data, and display the edited task by redirecting back to "/tasks/:id"
