+Action Controller basics
+=======================
+
+In this guide you will learn how controllers work and how they fit into the request cycle in your application. After reading this guide, you will be able to:
+
+* Follow the flow of a request through a controller
+* Understand why and how to store data in the session or cookies
+* Work with filters to execute code during request processing
+* Use Action Controller's built-in HTTP authentication
+* Stream data directly to the user's browser
+* Filter sensitive parameters so they do not appear in the application's log
+* Deal with exceptions that may be raised during request processing
