What is Session?

A way to remember information about a user while they're using your app

Why It Matters

Sessions track logged-in users and their activities across multiple page visits

Real-World Example

Your shopping cart stays full as you browse different pages because your session remembers it

“Understanding terms like Session matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
