It is an output of writing in public, not a prerequisite for it. Why the question ‘who am I to write?’ is backwards, and why you should publish anyway.https://milan.milanovic.org/post/dobrodosli-u-vrli-novi-svet/Fri, 22 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://milan.milanovic.org/post/dobrodosli-u-vrli-novi-svet/AI više nije napredni autocomplete, postao je sposoban član tima koji menja čitav lanac rada.

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 the Azure platform, we have some powerful features in place to ensure we can develop securely end-to-end. One example is the Microsoft Identity Web provider. The main advantage of using this provider is that we don’t need to know protocols such as OpenID Connect or OAuth and this enables us to not be involved manually in all changes of these protocols that happen all the time.https://milan.milanovic.org/post/the-greatest-software-development-books-of-all-time/Sat, 24 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://milan.milanovic.org/post/the-greatest-software-development-books-of-all-time/Ten books, language-agnostic, from Clean Code and The Pragmatic Programmer to SICP and Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, plus honourable mentions - and why the author of a book is usually the next best thing to working with them.https://milan.milanovic.org/post/a-brief-walk-through-net-ecosystem/Sat, 20 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://milan.milanovic.org/post/a-brief-walk-through-net-ecosystem/What you can actually build with .NET, and with which part of it: .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono and Xamarin, written in 2020 as .NET 5 was about to fold them into one.https://milan.milanovic.org/post/cobol-strikes-back/Fri, 15 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://milan.milanovic.org/post/cobol-strikes-back/From time to time we hear about COBOL, that there is demand for it.

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 for a company to maintain and use in the long run.https://milan.milanovic.org/post/should-i-read-books-as-a-developer/Sun, 02 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://milan.milanovic.org/post/should-i-read-books-as-a-developer/My strong opinion is that it is a must. A developer learns plenty from tutorials and examples, but nothing replaces a good book: tools and frameworks come and go, the thinking behind them stays.
