Introduction

In the previous post Creating a Roadmap, we established a plan for this blog. To give ourselves the best chance of success, and to ensure the longevity of this project, it is important to address areas of friction. These are the areas that distract (even detract) from important activities centred around this project. Activities such as research, planning, scoping, building and consequently distilling information in the form of writing these posts.

Preamble

The quote, “Failing to plan is planning to fail”, which has been widely attributed to Benjamin Franklin serves as an appropriate jumping off point for this post. A couple of weeks have passed following the Hello, World post, and the endorphins from the “Wow! It works!” (or “eureka”) moment have worn off. So, in an effort to stay true to the purpose sentiment in the aforementioned post, let us settle down, and plan what is next on the horizon. Essentially creating a Roadmap for this blog.

Introduction

“Hello, World!” often the first thing programmers write when learning a new language. It also seems fitting as the title of the first post of this blog. Another common cliché in the programming world is “Naming things”… Alluding to the great difficulty we face to give things significant and concise names. So, in light of that, welcome to the Hello, World! post of 42 65 6e 6e 6f.

That is a strange title for a blogging website - right? Well, maybe - for now it will do, and perhaps those in the know will smirk when they figure it out.
