Anyone who can help me out with this!

I have a project to complete and I am implementing a user-case where I  
have to create a loggin-in & logging-out page, is there anyone who has  
done this before? And help me and my group to get this started, because  
I and my group aint done this before.

Thank You.

print "enter your name: "  
name = gets.chomp  
exit if name != “Joe”

print "enter your password: "  
passwd = gets.chomp  
exit if passwd != “secret”  
puts  
puts “Welcome, %s” % name

–output:–  
$ ruby r2test.rb  
enter your name: Joe  
enter your password: secret

Welcome, Joe

Presumably this is connected with access control, so you’ll need to  
design a database to hold account details. Then you need to decide how  
you are going to pass state information between successive pages. You  
may use a cookie or transport some session id in your HTML.

You really need to do the ‘register-user’ use-case before you move onto  
this one.
