//app.use will only see whether url starts with specified path But, app.all() will match the complete path
app.use( "/book" , middleware);
// will match /book
// will match /book/author
// will match /book/subject
app.all( "/book" , handler);
// will match /book
// won't match /book/author
// won't match /book/subject
app.all( "/book/*" , handler);
// won't match /book
// will match /book/author
// will match /book/subjectexpress render

// pass a local variable to the view
res.render('user', { name: 'Tobi' }, function (err, html) {
