Ummm, this might be just me but I don't see any actual reason for sessions being bad?
Of course anything that you dont need a stateful connection for you wouldn't use a session (that is a surely logical). But there are other things that DO need a stateful session to work so....
i think he's trying to say that the result of sessions is that it makes page content transient. if you send me a URL, it may or may not be the case that we both are seeing the same page content.
this is true, this is bad, and this is also an easily avoided, definitely bad way of using sessions, imo.
p.s.: he lost all credibility with me when he used the word "thru" in his "book excerpt"
yeh I think that was what I got from it too: but I just didnt see any valid connection to the argument of removing all sessions because they were inherently bad :D
