Hullo Everyone!

Welcome to the "Lucid Technics - The Lucid Architects" blog. We created the blog to highlight Lucid's approach to solving the enterprise computing problems we face on a daily basis. We hope our stories will be entertaining and informative.

Any given problem can have many good solutions, but the very best solution usually depends on the context of the problem. Context can change over time, so solutions that work great today may not work well in the future. It is also true that solutions that didn't seem to make sense in the past, after fresh empirical re-evaluation, can become the best solutions today. A lot of our musings will involve challenging past assumptions with an eye on discovering better and more efficient ways to build great software.

We encourage feedback. Even though we will write about what we think we know well, we expect to learn much from the comments of our readers. Feel free to send us your own stories or ask us questions. We will do our best to work them in to our postings.

Speaking of things we know well, Lucid Technics was once primarily a Java shop. Recent advancements in the JVM have exposed us to the pleasure of programming with dynamic typed languages like Ruby, Python, and server side JavaScript. So now we like to think of ourselves as a JVM shop!

Lucid Technics is also the creator of the Hannibal code generation platform. We are using Hannibal to create applications for our clients. We expect to talk a lot about the architectural philosophies that drove the design of Hannibal, and whether or not those philosophies work in practice.

So please join us. This is going to be good!

Regards,

Bediako and Dave
