It occurred to me that the title of this blog is going to mean something different to anyone who reads it. So I will explain what it means to me.A lifecycle describes the progression of something from its very conception until it no longer has any value. A lifecycle breaks down this progression into generalized stages so we can be smart about dealing with whatever it is based on where we think it is in the lifecycle. The most obvious lifecycle is our own from child, to young adult, to middle age, to old age. We make these distinctions in order deal with the realities of say, voting, retirement planning, and advertising. It's one lifecycle, but it is treated differently by government, banking, and marketing stakeholders, respectively.
A nice explanation of *lifecycle* term in context of application development.
