The Alliance for Code Excellence Launches Bad Code Offsets at The Underground @ PDC 2009

Reducing a developer's bad code footprint will become simpler as the Alliance for Code Excellence begins its campaign promoting code excellence at the Underground @ PDC 2009 in Los Angeles on November 18. The sale of Bad Code Offsets provides developers with the vehicle for balancing the scales of poor past practice while freeing them to pursue current excellence in code development.

Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) November 14, 2009 -- On November 18, 2009, the Conga Room in Los Angeles will rock when the Alliance for Code Excellence, codeoffsets.com, unveils their campaign to rid the world of bad software code at The Underground @ PDC 2009, undergroundatpdc.com. As the sale of Bad Code Offsets begins, it will provide the means for building a better tomorrow—one line of code at a time. “The Underground @ PDC 2009 is the logical choice for introducing bad code offsets since it is the premier event showcasing the future of developer technology,” says Alliance chairman Alex Papadimoulis. “Mitigating the scope and negative impact of bad code on our jobs, our lives and our world is our all–consuming passion,” continues Alex.

The Bad Code Offset provides a convenient and rational approach for balancing out the bad code that has been created by programmers from the very beginning of information technology. Denominated in Source Lines of Code (SLOC), every purchase will offset the desired quantity of SLOC and pave the way toward future code excellence. Money raised through the purchase of Bad Code Offsets supports the various Open Source Initiatives that are performing vital work towards the salvation of our future code base.

The Alliance and its partners believe that global code excellence is achievable in this lifetime and that bad code offsets are a convenient, new tool that developers will embrace as they strive toward coding excellence. As green coding practices are adopted, the quality of subsequent code releases will increase over time. Awareness and use of coding best practices will promote the common good while ensuring that future software revisions and updates continue to build on and enlarge a worldwide code base of excellence.
