His birthday was recently, so let me tell you his story. He would not have wanted a sad post, and this is not one. He was a mathematician before anything else. He won medals at faculty competitions, and one of his professors put his work into a textbook. Energoinvest and the Olympics From 1978 he worked as a software engineer at Energoinvest in Sarajevo.

Nobody starts with credibility. It took me four years to learn this. There are people in our industry who don’t trust anyone with a large audience. To them, an audience itself is a red flag. I grew my social following over exactly those years, so that argument always landed close to home, and something about it felt wrong to me. It stung. And it left me with the question that stops most…

Odlučio sam se za ovaj korak inspirisan skorašnjim tekstom Meta Šumera, ali i kako bi skrenuo pažnju širem društvu na nešto što se dešava i što će se tek dešavati u narednom periodu. Počelo je da me…
Introduction to Interface-Driven Development (IDD) During my work on different projects and using different languages, frameworks, styles, and idioms, I found out that there are no silver bullets on how to design software. Starting from a set of requirements we need to implement, we have preferences that we should first write code and then test, on the other side we have the TDD approach emerging…

In this talk we will try to answer some question including that million dollar one: “where I see myself in 5 years” and then we will go through some methods and tools you can use to set and track your…
Introduction to code quality When we talk about code quality, we can think of different aspects of it. We mainly refer to the attributes and characteristics of code. While there is no widely adopted definition of high-quality code, we know some of the characteristics of good code : It is . Absence of . Consistent. Functional - it does what we say it does. Easy to understand. Efficient. Testable.…
Continuous integration and Continuous deployment are an important part of modern software development practices and DevOps. It brings to software development teams a focus on fulfilling business requirements, code quality, and security as deployment steps are automated. Continuous integration (CI) represents a set of practices that drive development teams to implement small changes and check-in…
Web developers in the modern era often create different kinds of Web APIs and publish them to some platforms. In recent years probably some Cloud platforms. These APIs are then consumed by some SPA applications (React, Angular, or similar SPA applications), mobile, or desktop applications. However, security best practices must be applied and this is something a lot of developers struggle with. In…
There is a question that is often asked: should I read books to become a better developer? Usually, the question is yes and the reason for that is that the person who wrote the book wrote it when (s)he was the most invited to write it with the large knowledge base then. The only better option would be to work with that person, which is often not possible. Yet, a lot of people are not reading…

A talk held by Christian Abegg, Marija Popovic and Milan Milanovic.
During many years in the software development industry and gaining more and more knowledge in Microsoft-related world, I figured out that many people have different knowledge depending on projects and teams they have been working. Some of that knowledge overlaps but some is not. But, there are some subjects that every C#/.NET developer must know and there are some subjects that are good to know.…
Being a developer these days involves sometimes developing features and fixing bugs at a fast pace, which can result in code that is difficult to maintain in the long-term. In other cases, we want to make the most elegant solutions possible to solve some problems. This can produce code that machines can understand but people have more difficulty understanding. Such code can become a major issue…
Should I read books as a software developer ? This is the question I hear a lot. My strong opinion is that this should be a must. Even though developer can learn a lot from different kind of tutorials or examples, nothing can replace a good book. You can read about different hot tools/frameworks, but they could easily disappear in a year or so. A book, and especially a good one, will give you good…
