The Black Grade
Clean Code Developers (CCD) are improving their practices incrementally using a grade system. The real self-improvement work begins with the
red level. But what if someone is interested in Clean Code Development, but does not yet know how to begin? What if he is motivated, but he still faces organizational hurdles?
For those beeing interested in becoming a Clean Code Developer, we have put in front of the
red grade yet another level, the black grade. At the black level the CCD-grade prospect can wear a black bracelet
link to identify himself as a "seeker". However, he is not yet trying to improve his practices every day (yet) according to the
CCD system of values.
The bracelet for the black level is a signal of interest only and reminds you to set the stage for work on the
red level.
Black bracelets can therefore be distributed without restriction. They are viral advertising for the Clean Code Developer movement.
Continue with the
red level.
