Food! Who doesn’t love food? I love food! Love the idea of sharing my experiences with food using literature. Gastronome is a food blog that documents the fact that food is for the soul. This application will allow users to post about food. A blog to chronicle authentic recipes, or experiential food or just about anything that one is cooking or enjoying. With a story and images accompanying the blog post, this application will celebrate the awesomeness of food.
A user must be logged into create/edit/delete a post and to add comments to other posts. This blog uses all 7 routes of the RESTful API architecture. A RESTful API is an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data.
