It's time to write interactive code and this is where writing programs and doing software really fun.

So far, what we've done is we've just told the program Do Step One, and then Step Two, and then Step Three. Maybe we got some input from the user

If you go there and you're not logged in it'll do one thing, if you are logged in, it'll do another. For example, if you try to view a course

and you're not logged in, it'll tell you to log in or it'll take you to the course to just browse it and you can learn more about it and sign up there.

Once you do log in, it needs to know does this course belong to you, are you registered for it or is this some other course? And it's going to decide
