Code Quality: The Open Source Perspective Diomidis Spinellis
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional

The uses of the data itself are not the main concern. Alan's talked focused purely on the importance of building quality, purpose-driven tools, using Open Source software. This is a must read to anybody remotely interested in quality. I think anyone and everyone interested in ICT should read the books, even if they have no intention of ever writing code. Open source software involves developers at many different locations and organizations sharing code to develop and refine computer programs that are then distributed at no or low direct cost. Code Quality: The Open Source Perspective. But more to the point: instead of checking actual source code, I would rather consider evaluating quality of open source projects rock stars have contributed to (or started); and spot-checking discussions on mailing lists. In particular, we try to provide an economic perspective on a debate that has been largely conducted on other terms. Open Solutions Alliance: Open Source: The Only Yet when we look at the macro perspective – and I mean the super macro perspective – multiple industry analysts have estimated the global spend for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at 3.4 trillion US dollars per year. The best code gets the information out. Just stumbled upon a fundamental talk of Michael Tiemann about quality and business model of open source software. Over the past fifteen years, open source software has experienced explosive source and proprietary software interact and the policy issues that this raises. If you're an are very inaccurate.

By adopting an open source strategy for the code, we hope that cultural heritage organizations around the world will see Arches as a compelling technical and business solution for their data management needs. An open source project has much greater scope than anything that can be given to a programmer in a job interview and shows the kind of quality work a programmer produces from design to implementation to testing. Linux 2.6, PHP 5.3, and PostgreSQL 9.1 all emerged as very reliable from a code integrity perspective, although even they have some defects.
