- What's the difference between a cookie and a session?
- A cookie is a file stored on a user's computer that stores some information (including session information) - a session is something accessible in your app which can store information (albiet a ver small amount of it) - it's a hash
- What's serialization and how does it come into play with cookies?
- Serialization is the encryption that turns your session into a (JSON, for rails) cookie that is sent back with the HTTP response. State in a STATELESS land.
- Can a cookie be shared by more than one user? How/why?
- Nope. The cookie is some encrypted shit that is specific to one computer-server connection
- I guess, maybe, if the users are on the same computer? That's a dumb idea.
- What would it mean to store a shopping cart in a cookie?
- It would mean that you are storing a bunch of data in/as a hash and then "inflating" it as necessary into your objects
- What advantages/disadvantages are there between cookie-stored carts and database-stored carts?
- Check mah blahg (once I get a minute to build it.
