“Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.”
Open Source was recently defined as "the most significant all-encompassing and long-term trend that the software industry has seen since the early 1980s.*".
Open Source is moving from a cost saving tactic to a strategic component of modern IT infrastructures. Understanding the way Open Source works is key to being prepared for the challenges of today and the future.
