Hello World – we are Palantir Technologies
January 3rd, 2007 |
Welcome to the Palantir TechBlog. Here’s a place for our engineers to sound off about all things technical. For now, it will be mostly related to general software engineering topics with a focus on development of enterprise software in Java. This will lead us to talk about SQL, Unix, Swing tricks, scaling Java, development practices and a host of other attendant topics related to what we do.
To be clear: we’re not a J2EE shop, we’re building enterprise class software from the ground up out of Java. So what does that mean? We’re building large scale data systems that have a server component and desktop client component. Which means that we sort of touch on everything end-to-end, from making Swing performant and pretty to building custom database code to model some of the very interesting things that we’re dealing with.
Please feel free to comment, we’d love to hear from you.
