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

Here are some practical options for earning a living while making open source software. This is a must read to anybody remotely interested in quality. It cuts out the textbook, allowing So, that's sort of to put it in perspective here. Most open source developers like to think about the quality of the software they build, but the quality of the documentation is often forgotten. Rice University professor Richard Baraniuk explains the vision behind Connexions, his open-source, online education system. Nobody talks about how great a project's docs are, and yet documentation has a direct impact on your project's success. An open source program is one who's source code can be accessed, improved and redistributed by one and all. In open source, there will always be people looking at your code - and you know it, so you better make sure it is at least decent. First of all, the success of a product relies heavily on the quality of the implementation. In this article a Protecode marketing specialist discusses ensuring In order to keep up with customer demand and maximize quality, organizations today rely increasingly on code re-use. For offline needs, the documentation for each module is embedded in the code itself, and when the module is installed on a user's system, local documentation is created as man pages. A bunch of supposedly intelligent people debating what most people understand and accept as being the source code under BSD or GPL) helps. 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. Developers It allows us to keep costs low, double every two years in size and revenue and have a long term perspective on our business and product, which benefits the customers, the implementation partners and us (we actually sleep well at night). Open source is becoming necessary to remain innovative and competitive in today's technology market, but organizations that rely increasingly on code-reuse face risks associated with intellectual property uncertainty. Note: The list is arranged by software Gliffy a diagram creation software, you can easily create professional-quality flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, technical drawings, and more. Don't both licenses allow for someone to immediately publish the source code for free (eg fork to github)? Taking a step back and viewing this from the perspective of the common man on the street --- it's really kinda hilarious. If many hands make light work, then many The following list covers some of the best free and open source software from an average student's perspective. Just stumbled upon a fundamental talk of Michael Tiemann about quality and business model of open source software.
