Cleveland’s Tremont District

Lola is a new restaurant in Cleveland’s trendy neighborhood. Upon a visit with some close friends we dined at this newcomer to the neighborhood. First, let me start by saying the atmosphere was phenomenal! Although I was in Cleveland it certainly felt like New York! The three of us decided upon three opening appetizers to share. We chose the Crab Gnocchi, Heirloom Tomato Salad and Heritage Farms Fresh Bacon. If you are wondering why we ordered bacon then wonder no more! It is comprised of asparagus, truffle and poached egg. All three were simply a feast for the taste buds. For our main courses I ordered the Roasted Duck while my friends dined on the Venison and Salmon. The duck was prepared perfectly. Quite possibly the best duck I have had thus far. One is not to forget dessert, however! Once again, we chose three items from the menu and shared each. The “6 a.m. Special” was by far the most intriguing of the three. French toast was covered with maple-bacon ice cream and then topped with caramelized apples. Absolutely delicious! The Warm Chocolate Cake was nowhere near ordinary either! We complemented our meal with a bottle of the house Reisling. In all, this is an excellent compliment to Cleveland. I would definitely recommend not only visiting this trendy area but also Lola’s. Chef Michael Symon is a renowned chef, not only appearing as a challenger but winning on The Next Iron Chef America .

Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails is described as a web application framework. It aims to increase the speed and ease with which database-driven web sites can be created, and offers skeleton code frameworks scaffolding from the outset. Often shortened to Rails, or RoR, Ruby on Rails is an open source project written in the Ruby programming language, and applications using the Rails framework are developed using the Model-View-Controller design paradigm. Everyone I have ask about this app either will only use it or have not heard of it. These are the questions I want to ask:

• If you have tried Rails, what do you think?

• To learn Rails do I need a solid Ruby base?

Thanks for your input!

Well Let's Just Get Started

As I sit here starting a blog I am thinking, why do this? Will it help me get through school any faster? Probably not. Will I learn anything from it? Possibly, because I plan on asking computer science questions and maybe I will get a response from someone. When I think of how big the world wide web has become the voice inside my head tells me getting a response on here is like trying to scream at a rock concert and everyone hear you. I have always enjoyed the world of technology and have to decided to make a career out of it. I have tried to learn somethings on my own but as I am reading about one thing something else comes along and gets me all off the first subject. It is just over whelming so I am thinking a controlled environment will keep me on track. So follow me as I go through the world of a computer science major. If you are and expert help me out if you are a student yourself maybe this will help in someway.
