Understanding Authentication in Node.js - Sessions and Cookies - Web Development Concepts Explained

Understanding Authentication using Cookies and Sessions is a very important topic to understand in web development. I will be using Node.js and Express and MongoDB to build a very basic example of login and register.
In this video I try my best to explain the basic workings of how this process of sessions and cookies work together to make it possible to authenticate users in you website.
