Sessions and Conversations in Rails 3

Sessions and Conversations

HTTP is a stateless protocol. Sessions allow us to chain multiple requests together into a conversation between client and server.

Sessions should be an option of last resort. If there's no where else that the data can possibly go to achieve the desired functionality, only then should it be stored in the session. Sessions can be vulnerable to security threats from third parties, malicious users, and can cause scaling problems.

That doesn't mean we can't use sessions, but we should only use them where necessary.

Chaining Either for Ruby
# A chainable Either monad for Ruby

# Examples
#
# Either.right('s') >> proc { |s| Either.right(s + '-1') } >> proc { |s| Either.right(s + '-2') }
# #=> #<Either @left=nil, @right="s-1-2">

Create basic Web Server in Ruby (using WEBrick)
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "webrick"
=begin
WEBrick is a Ruby library that makes it easy to build an HTTP server with Ruby.
It comes with most installations of Ruby by default (it’s part of the standard library),
so you can usually create a basic web/HTTP server with only several lines of code.
The following code creates a generic WEBrick server on the local machine on port 1234,
