Here are a couple of examples from Stack Overflow for URL and URN:
- URL: news:comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix
- URL: telnet://192.0.2.16:80/
- URN (not URL): urn:oasis:names:specification:docbook:dtd:xml:4.1.2
- URN (not URL): tel:+1-816-555-1212 (?)
All of the above are URIs, while only the first two are URLs.

19,141 PointsHi John,
You have a lot of options when dealing with user authentication - it'll depend on which languages you might already be familiar with, and which ones you feel most comfortable learning. Most of the user authentication classes here on Treehouse are at the Intermediate or Advanced level, which means you may want to take a look at the prerequisites before you tackle them. I'm going to link a few courses here that you might want to take a look at:
To set up and style the form on your web page: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/html-forms
For the actual authentication: JavaScript https://teamtreehouse.com/library/user-authentication-with-express-and-mongo Java https://teamtreehouse.com/library/user-authentication-in-spring Python https://teamtreehouse.com/library/django-authentication PHP https://teamtreehouse.com/library/php-user-authentication
These are just a few - there are plenty of relevant courses. I'd recommend looking at the Library tab on treehouse and searching for things that interest you - a lot of the ones I linked should come up if you search "authentication" for example. Some other options are ASP.NET and Ruby.
Hope this helps!
