-Compojure Cookies Example
-=========================
+Compojure Cookies Example 2011
+==============================
+
+Clojure, being a relatively new language, uses an even newer web framework: [Compojure][1].  
+
+Compojure, still sporting a sub 1.0 version, being under active development and reduced to a thin veneer over [Ring][2] may prove challenging for developers.  If for any reason is because many examples and tutorials are simply outdated.
+
+It's my goal to demonstrate the use of sessionless cookies in Compojure, with working examples.
+
+### The Basics ###
+
+[Example 1][3] is a simple hello-world application (suitable for running on [Heroku][4])
+
+```clojure
+(ns example1
+  (:use [ring.adapter.jetty             :only [run-jetty]]
+        [compojure.core                 :only [defroutes GET]]))
+
+(defroutes routes
+  (GET  "/" [] "Hi there"))
+
+(defn -main []
+  (run-jetty routes {:port (if (nil? (System/getenv "PORT")) 
+                             8000 ; localhost or heroku?
+                             (Integer/parseInt (System/getenv "PORT")))}) )
+```
