Insights
Her favorite book is Little Prince. She is a hedonist and passionate traveler. She would like to have more time dedicated to another passion - painting. Her name is Jovana, a creative girl, and fashion lover. She has been a part of our team for 5 years. We want to congratulate her for her work and effort and we hope that she will find more time for some good painting or another great book.
- What would you advise yourself 5 years ago?
Less stress and more gratitude.
- Which of your professional skills do you consider to be the most important?
Commitment, loyalty, flexibility, perfectionism, and unlimited effort when the goal and motive are clearly defined.
- What would you highlight as your biggest contribution in the past 5 years?
The first thing that comes to my mind is that I met really dear people and gained real friends, even the future godmother Saska :) (something that I always thought was reserved for school-age and childhood). On the other hand, I realized what the working environment and teamwork should look like, which gave me perspective for further business challenges.
- Tell us your impressions of how much the company culture influences recruitment and how
Definitely, there is a big influence. All of us who recruit future colleagues, we represent the company and provide a first impression of the company culture and overall atmosphere. From my point of view, it is a combination of a professional and friendly approach in order to provide as much information and details as possible through pleasant and less formal conversation, with the slogan when we hang out, we hang out when we work, we work.
- What was your first job?
My first job was in a bank, during my student days. It was hard to reconcile business and university obligations, but at the same time, it was an opportunity to get a bigger picture of how the banking sector works. That somehow directed me to the other side.
- What would you never give up?
Time for myself and my daily rituals :)
- From your point of view, what trait is most important to have to be a successful recruiter?
Commitment and that you love what you do.
- Besides your job, what is that you also do well?
Besides the economy for which I was educated and my work with people with the Quantox team, I would say that my thing is also a sense of aesthetics for interior design, fashion, art…
- If you could become an expert in another field for a moment, what would it be?
Certainly something related to the previous answer. During primary school, I wanted to be a painter, which later grew into a hobby.
- What surprised you the most while working at Quantox?
Some special people, working atmosphere, and the fact that this company operates and grows in such a simple and natural way, which has resulted in today’s borders of Quantox, in a territorial and every other sense.
- What is it that people mostly don’t know about you?
That I am, for the most part, a big introvert.
Quality music is her groove. And a good running track. Although, coffee is at the top of that list also. When she is nervous we know that she is hungry. Passionate about taking pics, which is good cos when you ask her for some nice photos, you get 15 of them :)Winter is not her friend, Lisabon is. She is Andjela, but for us, Andja. A serious programmer and a true professional. Always up-to-date. It is very easy to create memories with her. Andja, we want to congratulate you for 5 years of dedication, effort, and great work. We know that you will celebrate it with something sweet and a g-drive full of photos :)
- How do you start your day at work?
Coffee, morning chat with colleagues who are in the office and then checking emails and daily plan: meetings, tasks.
- Besides programming, what is something that you also do well?
I’m good at running and sports in general. It’s a shame that I don’t have time to dedicate myself more to that.
- If you are not a programmer what would you be?
A pilot :)
- What would you advise yourself 5 years ago?
To be more confident in myself and the decisions that I make, not to trust everyone, and to grab and take everything that I can.
- Do you remember your first day at work?
Of course. I was nervous, but the whole day went really well, with a lot of positive energy, meeting new people, and details about my future project.
- Who or what influenced you the most to become a programmer?
During high school, I already, somehow, knew my future path and what I want to do, so at university, it was only a matter of which department to choose. I would say that education itself guided me to become a programmer.
- What would you never give up?
Laugh, sun, dear people, and coffee!
- Do you have some totally irrational fear of something?
I am totally terrified of cats, even kittens.
- Which of your professional skills do you consider to be the most important?
Eloquence, perseverance, I am detail-oriented and always willing to help and make people laugh :)
- What is it that people mostly don’t know about you?
I have been practicing Latin American dance for 10 years and - small, little things will always blow me away.
- What would you highlight as your biggest contribution in the past 5 years?
I gave my maximum effort to every app that I was working on, every deadline and agreement was respected and fulfilled.
- From your point of view, what trait is most important to have to be a successful programmer?
A good programmer must have good logic and, for me, that is the most important thing. After that, knowledge, passion, and willingness to always learn something new.

If you are a writer or want to become one, you will eventually come across some kinds of questions that are very important to be clarified. What is the site review? What is it used for? How important is it to the final users?Who writes and who reads blog posts, why are they so popular and why do you need to know how to write them if you are into a writing job? Here are some tips and tricks that you can use to improve your writing!
What Are Site Reviews and How To Write Them?
What is a Site Review?
In simple words, the site review is a detailed text of some web place, which gives valuable information about the site to the end-user! You need to cover several things when you are writing a site review, such as Validity of Information, the tone of writing and text editing, and the details (the more details, the better the review).
What Must a Site Review Contain?
Overview - Give an overall idea of what the given website is. What does it do? What does it offer to the user? How does it work, in general terms? Give the big picture before getting into details.Ease of Use - Emphasize the ease of use. Even though today’s generations are very well educated when it comes to computers, we all want to breeze through the sites we are visiting and to click as little as possible to get the wanted results. Applications and Benefits - Help your readers see how this site would work for them. The reader wants to know how this online service will be to his advantage.
Discuss Website Features
If you are writing a site review article, you should include all features that your site has. That can be Loading speed, Search feature, Ads free or ads, Any filters, Membership, Safe environment, help, financial, Visual appeal, FAQ, community, Plugins or software required, and others. Give your readers a detailed preview of the stuff offered on the website and give yourself the freedom to write in your own words! That will improve the quality of your review!
Deal with Negatives
No matter how much effort someone has put into his website, there will always be people who can find a negative side of it! If you aim to become a successful site reviews writer, you will have to deal with these negative sides, and there are two simple ways of achieving this: Ignore or Spin! Before getting detailed about these two ways, I have to tell you that the clients who pay you to write reviews don’t like seeing negative reviews! That’s why you have to be cunning and try to avoid mentioning this, but still, be objective and give your readers trustworthy information! Yeah, not an easy task, but check this out:
- Ignore: people already know that all sites have downfalls, don’t mention them. It's as simple as that! You can mention it somewhere in the text, but don’t focus on them!
- Spin: Use something like “site won’t work for you IF…” to avoid being negative, yet gives the reader information that something is not ideal on the site!
Personalize Your Review
You are hired because of your skills, personal writing voice, and audience reach! So, make your review unique, put your own personal mark into it!Finish with your own final thoughts on the website! Take care of the business, don’t let anyone tell you you are a plagiarist or something similar! Be creative, be free to write in your own words, choose the right words, and the results will come!
Remember:
- Avoid promotional jargon: always remember that you are not advertising the website, you are writing a review.
- Use the main keyword! If it is asked, the density of keywords should be 3%
- Stay neutral: A perfect online review should be as neutral as possible.
- Always proofread: Write in a friendly format not academic, write clearly and concisely, and always proofread!
- Include details: Never forget to include as many details as you can!

In today’s fast-paced world of software development, it is necessary to deliver a product or a service promptly, while ensuring all the best security practices and considerations are taken into account and ensuring the infrastructure is capable of handling the requests of the modern web and mobile applications. These tasks need to be handled by several different engineers due to their complexity and the many areas they cover.
What are DevOps?
Development Operations (DevOps) as a software engineering concept involves a multidisciplinary approach, where software development, software and infrastructure security, and systems engineering and administration skills are used to streamline and improve the software development and delivery processes, as well as infrastructure management.The core of the DevOps philosophy is the automation of processes, declaration of infrastructure resources, and reuse of components. Essentially, it sounds like software development, right?Modern software development practice expects the use of software version control, such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and others, which foster collaboration between software developers. It allows keeping versions of the code too, to ease auditing and resolution of software and security defects. The repository acts as a single source of truth, that must reflect the current state of software and infrastructure, and a place through which changes can be reviewed and applied in a controlled and automated manner.One key area that speeds up the developmentof software and lets developers do more work is the automation of the lint, build, and test phases of changes introduced to a software component. This is accomplished by utilizing a CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Deployment) system, which consists of pipelines, declarations of steps that need to be executed to accomplish the aforementioned tasks. Such automation aims to find and resolve software issues quickly and efficiently and create reproducible builds of software artifacts, packaged software ready for deployment and execution in different infrastructure environments.
Why are Docker Containers Important?
Docker containers are an excellent tool to easily prepare and ship applications as image artifacts that can be run on many different container orchestration platforms, such as Kubernetes. By packing the application and its dependencies (libraries, static content, etc.) in one container image, it can be delivered easily and executed on different environments, and a well-crafted container can be reused on several different environments, such as development, staging, and production. A developer can also run the whole application stack locally on their machine by using Docker Compose or Minikube, ensuring that the way their application runs is as similar as possible to production environment requirements.Applications designed by employing the 12 Factors rules of software development and Docker containers can help achieve the universality and ease of deployment of applications. By leveraging environment variables for configuration, and keeping the all-state outside of containers and inside managed cloud databases, such as Amazon RDS, Elasticache for Redis, and similar, even if the application fails due to any factor, you can be sure that the data is preserved, and the application can be started back easily and quickly, due to the ephemeral stateless nature of containers. Also, many instances of the same application can be run in parallel on an orchestration platform, providing scalability when the usage is growing, such as when many users access the application at the same time.
What is the Role of DevOps Engineer?
Besides improving the speed of delivering software to production environments, one of the most important responsibilities is to ensure software, data, and infrastructure security. Together with Information Security (InfoSec) engineers, DevOps engineers can automate processes that check for security compliance, and adherence to standards, such as ISO 27001 and PCI, ensuring the software and infrastructure are secure for performing tasks related to monetary transactions, medical research, work with sensitive data, and similar.If the software constitutes the main driving implementation of processes, the infrastructure is as important in ensuring the software works according to requirements. The DevOps way of managing infrastructure uses declarative formats, such as Terraform or CloudFormation templates, to define cloud resources and manage them in collaboration with other DevOps team members and version them in a code repository, and audit them using automated tools. The templates allow easy creation of new and modification of existing cloud infrastructure resources, and also constitute an excellent tool to ensure business continuity, in case disaster strikes and everything needs to be recreated from scratch and as soon as possible as part of disaster recovery and disaster contingency planning processes.
How DevOps Use Tools For Software Development?
Lots of tools allow us to follow how the infrastructure resources and applications are performing, such as Prometheus, Grafana, the ELK stack, by collecting metrics and log data, allowing us to correlate them and discover points of slowdowns and contentions, discovering issues with the applications and infrastructure, and offer us a great tool for resolving such issues. Monitoring can be automated to inform teams when their applications do not perform as well as expected, and even allow the system to roll back in case of failures, increasing its resiliency and ensuring services are up and running for the clients.One of the main concerns is data integrity. As most software represents a way to work with data, we must ensure that data is preserved in case of software errors, cyber-attacks, or disasters. That can be ensured by setting up automated replication of data in different data-center regions, or even different services, snap-shooting of stateful resources (databases, servers’ volumes), automated backups, and by defining a life-cycle policy of the data - how long it needs to be preserved and how. This can all be automated and performed consistently, by leveraging declarative infrastructure tools and writing scripts to perform automated backups according to schedule.As we can see, many of these topics can be enhanced and many parts of the applications and the infrastructure can be improved by following design principles and processes defined by the DevOps software development philosophy. By leveraging the multidisciplinary approach and automating most of the processes, developers can ship software faster, and businesses can be more certain that things are going to perform well within the expectations.
The Importance of DevOps in Quantox Technology!
One of the reasons why Quantox was able to become a leading IT solutions company is its approach to DevOps. With special consideration to software development, infrastructure security, system engineering and administration, we achieved a streamlined software development and delivery process. Our approach and automation of the process means your software can be build faster and with better performances. Let's Talk!

If you want to devote your time learning web development I will present to you the path that I think is the best to start this adventure, specifically oriented in the Laravel and VueJS world, and share some tips on how to get better at it over time.
This blog post is aimed at anyone interested in the web development world, either who started learning wants to start learning, or even people who are a few years into it and want to get some ideas that might be useful for them.
Can Your Learn Web Development From Online Courses?
I must admit, there are a ton of web development learning resources on the internet and too many options for beginners to start from when they are looking for a path in the web development world, and some people even give out some crazy advice like:
- Get a course from Udemy
- There are free courses on YouTube or FreeCodeCamp
- Start with W3Schools
- Just read the documentation man
thinking that it would be as easy as they say it is for someone who has no idea what he/she is doing.
While these places on the internet have their usages, you can't learn from a course site where you don't even know the authenticity of the person who teaches you things, you need to rely on ratings and other people's word. As for W3Schools, it's more of a documentation site than anything, where you can just search for what you need to get an idea of how things work and use that into your project when you get to that point, but it is not a site you can learn from just by reading.
Udemy has some great content creators, but you need to know which one to learn from and how detailed are the courses. So can you learn programming online? Bottom line- it all depends on what you want to learn, resources you're learning it from and who's teaching you.
How To Learn Web Development Online?
From my experience, I've only watched courses from one person on Udemy, which is Maximilian Schwarzmüller from Academind, I watched his Vue 2 The Complete Guide 12 hours course a few years ago when I was starting a project with VueJS.
The same thing applies to YouTube, there are a ton of content creators on there but you need to know which ones are the best, and it's hard to figure that out when you are new to this world.
Whatever course creator or content type you choose to learn from, just remember to investigate the creator, his experience and the way he explains things, the way he speaks, and how many details is he/she going into.
There are multiple sources where you can learn from so you can choose whatever you like the most or fits your style the best.
Watch Video Courses
I personally prefer video courses with quality content that focuses mostly on a specific topic (if I am interested in that) or a web app building type of course where the course creator uses multiple tools, techniques, and technologies to build a whole app from scratch so that I can follow along.
Whenever I want to learn something new, either programming, concept, technique, tool, technology, or a programming language, I start by searching for a course or a video on that topic. Once I get enough knowledge and get a good idea of how things work, I either search for another video or a whole course that uses the tool, technique, programming language in combination with the technology stack I am interested in just to see how things can be connected together.
After that, I start integrating the new learnings into my project so that I can understand the new knowledge even better.
Read Books
Some things cannot be found in a deep dive video course, so I look for a book or an e-book that has that tool, technique, technology, or programming language and read it to get an even better understanding of it.
Books (or e-books) are great because some of them are written by very experienced people in the industry and can provide a lot more information than a video course on any video platform ever will.
Ask Questions and Read Forums and Chats
Asking questions is one of the most important skills if you want to ever learn from someone else in the community.
I started just by reading forums at the beginning of my career, on the Laracasts forums, where I learned everything related to the basics of PHP, Laravel, and JavaScript, VueJS, to the more advanced programming concepts like Domain-Driven Design, project architecture, event sourcing, command buses and domain events, design patterns, SOLID Principles, and similar concepts, tools, and technologies.
If you hang out long enough on one forum or in a community, you will start collecting a lot of learning resources and learn so much more, which will boost your knowledge to the next level.
I also hang out on a lot of Slack and Discord chats which are very useful, because there are a lot of community members and there are a lot of people who need help and I've learned so much from them just by reading their conversations.
Help Other People in the Community and Participate in Discussions
This is one of the most useful skills that helped me grow so much in a short period of time. Laracasts was my home for years (even though I don't hang out there anymore, more active on other places like Reddit, Twitter, dev.to, Hashnode, Medium, etc.)
I've helped so many people, just trying to solve things and improve my searching and figuring out abilities that also helped me later on when people found me and recruited me for their projects, clients, companies, or even met people who shared a similar interest and was part in a table talk style meetups.
It opens so many opportunities for personal branding, and it helps you market yourself to the world where people can find you and offer you a job or a business opportunity.
Read Newsletters
Newsletters are a great way to discover news, tools, learning resources (articles, blogs, books, videos, etc.), which can boost your knowledge to the next level.
I am subscribed to a lot of them, Some of them include:
- CTO Insights (by my colleague Tosho)
- Adeva Developers Community Newsletter
- Awesome PHP
- Laravel News
- Laravel Daily
- Freek.dev
- JavaScript Weekly
- VueJS News
- NodeJS Weekly
- Tailwind CSS Weekly
- Dev.to Weekly Digest
- Hashnode Weekly Digest
- DB Weekly
- UX Collective
- UX Design Weekly
- Smashing Magazine
- CSS Tricks
- Percona Database Performance Blog
- API Developer Weekly
and others to keep up to date as much as possible.
Now, I know that it is impossible to keep up with all of the new things that are coming out in this web development world, but I do try to learn something new every day so that I can use it if I need it in my projects or someday in the future. That way, I get a better full picture of what I would need in a whole project, besides working on a project directly.
Work on Projects
Besides working on full-time/part-time / internship job projects, I always work on something else besides the full-time job, like my personal projects to experiment (like this personal website and blog here) with tools, techniques, or technologies that I do not usually use in my daily job.
Now, I know everyone wants to get paid to learn and/or build projects but working on personal projects or helping out other people teaches you so much that it can help you get a better job, become better, and even ask for a higher salary/rate per hour in the future.
Learning on a full-time job is all good, but sometimes that job can be boring or not really useful for the career when you are fixing bugs or work on useless tasks that do not teach you anything new.
That's why I recommend for everyone to start building their own personal website and blog, deploy it somewhere so that people can see it.
Also, don't forget to work on a personal project for a longer period of time that you might need to use for yourself, just so that you learn and experiment in your free time for fun.
Another option is to help out in the open-source world where you contribute to projects by helping other people.
Work enough so that you don't burn out so much but still learn something new every day.
Read Articles and Blogs
Same as the video courses, there are so many blog posts related to one specific thing that you might find useful or build a whole app based on a series of articles on a blog.
There are many blogs that can be useful to follow but I would suggest checking out dev.to and Hashnode first and then finding out people who have blogs and that you trust them based on their authenticity and the community you are a part of.
I use Feedly as my preferred RSS reader to follow the various websites and blogs. I also have the daily.dev new tab chrome extension that shows me new articles from different blogs to read every day.
Watch Coding Live-Streams
A few years ago, I started watching coding live streams of other people building projects to understand and learn how a person thinks when they build a project from scratch with the tools, technologies, and programming languages I use or like.
There's always something new to learn from someone else and you can incorporate it into your own projects (personal or not).
The interesting thing is that I've seen different approaches to how people structure their code, how they approach the database or project design, the pros and cons of some tools in some scenarios, and so on.
Follow People on Twitter
I know that many people think that social media can be a distraction and you should stay away but I've learned so much from people on Twitter because there are a lot of valuable Twitter threads, tips and tricks that people share and you can't find them anywhere else.
There's also a lot of useless content that is irrelevant but I try to ignore that part and mute profiles to keep it web development specific only as much as possible.
First Steps to Leaning a New Programming Language
The first thing I would do if I want to learn a new programming language (example: Go), I'll try to get to know the ecosystem and community so I would do the following:
- Go to the Awesome List on GitHub and search for the programming language.
- Go to the programming language community on Reddit
- Try to find the most influential people in the sphere to follow on Twitter
- Search for top-rated books
- Search for people who live stream on YouTube or Twitch
- Search for newsletters
- Search for Slack and Discord communities
- Star useful tools, packages on GitHub
- Ask people where they learn from, who they follow, what books or video courses are useful etc.
- Start building projects once I learn the fundamentals of the new programming language, tool, framework, etc.)
- Collect learning resources as I find them along the way.
Conclusion
There's no one way to learn web development just from one source and hope that you will get a job after a 6 months academy or a few video courses. It might take you a while but always be building something, helping someone, reading something, watching something. It's really up to you how much time and effort you are willing to put in. IT is not an easy career choice.
Use the community and the learning resources to become a better developer, designer, DevOps, or QA engineer.
- Do whatever you have to do to progress in your career, just don't burn yourself out.
- Do the work, be consistent and it will get you great results over time.
- Learn how to filter useful and useless content that will benefit you. It's a great skill to have.
- Don't forget to enjoy the process, even though there will be tough times and you will ask yourself if this is for you. If you manage to get through it, you will get closer to whatever you describe as success.
- Have fun and happy coding.

This year is important to us for several reasons. Celebrating 15 years of successful work, we have expanded our business to Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we also got a new challenge - 247 open positions! The fact that we have reached the number of 350 employees speaks about the ability to successfully open and close positions. An impressive number, but how to get it? What puzzle has to be “solved” to get a task like this? And most importantly - how does it affect the team and complete work organization?How many clients? The number of 247 came from a complex client structure. If we can divide them into groups, we would have existing clients, partner companies from the region, local representatives of global companies, large IT centers, and our partnerships with corporations like Microsoft and vendors like Lex Wear. Project phases and industriesDetails about projects that are most important to developers are that the open positions are referred to several projects in different phases of development. They will work on building projects from scratch but also on maintenance and improvement of existing ones. Integration within existing systems will also be included. Implementation, migration, and adjustments with security standards within the partnership we have with Microsoft which concerns the sale of Microsoft Azure licenses will also be a part of the work. Projects come to us from different industries - fintech, digital entertainment, retail hospitality, construction, sports organization. Tech skills and seniorityThe structure of the positions is very diverse. Most of them refer to JS and its frameworks - Angular, Vue, Typescript, React, Node, and their combinations. PHP and Java are present in smaller amounts and .NET, QA, Mobile developers, and Salesforce developers are also on the searching map. Developers of all levels will be included in this process. We also have a plan to start junior to medior training, where talented beginners will undergo 12 months of training with a mentor which will be completely free for them. Through whole training, developers will be, of course, duly paid.
- JavaScript developers ( Node, React, Typescript, Vue, Angular ) - 135
- PHP - 43
- JAVA - 30
- .NET - 18
- Mobile developers - 10
- QA - 8
- Salesforce developers-3
When we get a large number of positions like this, what most people don’t see is how exactly a meeting with a client looks like and what they actually ask from us. Negotiation of a large number of positions Primarily, what brings you to that first meeting with an important client are reputation, recommendations, achieved results, capacities, and operational capabilities. They can also be interested in a company's experience with certain technologies and all these things can set you apart from the competition. However, it is important to highlight that this is just a ticket for the first meeting with the potential client. That first meeting usually goes smoothly, most of the time C level is present and the conversation is about business in general. Lack of experience could make you think that everything went well and it’s done - the job is yours. However, the negotiation part is just about to begin. After that positive first impression, further conversations are about specific things - checking references in terms of providing a list of contacts where clients can check them, meetings with our Tech, Project management, and HR team. It is important for the client to truly understand what kind of company we are, what types of projects we do, what technologies and tools we use, and what is the seniority structure of our team. The necessary information can also be our way of measuring the results and complete the development process analysis. Often, they can ask for case studies and financial data in order to define whether we can or cannot financially handle the project. After that, mutual visits and further series of online meetings are arranged. Work reorganizationWhat comes with the plan of hiring a large number of people is an inevitable question - how will that affect our current work organization? In 2017, Quantox went through a 100% employee growth for the first time. The doubled number of people also meant increased obligations and tasks for different teams. Offices have been opened, developers started their first tasks and that year has given us a solid foundation for further expansion. The test of our organizational structure was definitely the pandemic time in 2020 and transition to full-time work from home. The benefit of 2 months of remote work was previously on and it helped us tremendously to easily slide to full remote mode. Our employees got used to new working conditions relatively quickly without a negative effect on results. Such changes have taught us which business moves were done right and how to be ready to welcome and respond to new challenges of a dynamic market and planned growth in the future. Our daily task is to improve the process of introducing our culture and work system to new people and we are always open to ask for additional support in leading regional teams, project management, higher management, and legal assistance.Providing a large number of job opportunities is a long-term goal. Some of them will be opened, others will be closed. The dynamics of the business, as well as the client’s requirements, often create a demand for a large number of people. Having in mind the development of the market and further growth of the company, we believe that a high level of need for staff will be present in the long run. Our focus in responding to such demands is on standards of recruitment and team quality that we strive to maintain. We want to continuously have a large number of open positions while further maintaining our standards for team expansion. Our quality is and will be primary in the future.
They say that the first year in business is always hard. They also say that if you are not losing money in that first year you will probably be ok. For us, the first year of our business was unforgettable.We will always remember how much coffee we drank, how many days without sleep we had, how many cooperation requests were sent back negative or we didn't get any response at all. But we started this game and quitting was not an option.The first year, but also the next couple, were, as they usually say - one-man jobs. However, the situation is starting to change in 2009. And then it hit us. A job is so important that if you do it right, it opens you with so many opportunities, but you are in trouble if not. It was a renowned client from the automotive industry, the market of Great Britain.What usually comes with an important contract that is so significant for further progress is a great sense of responsibility. A small team started this path just a year ago, and now that exact team has to deliver a serious project that, if done right, can mark your company as a serious player on the market.But imagine the technology and equipment that was available 15 years ago. Today we will call that kind of work a rough and ready approach. Available connection speed for development and further possible refinements would today, at least, cause tremendous stress. We were working in a small office, without any additional accommodation or benefits that we can see today in the IT world. Analysis of every possible and impossible step was a daily job and of course that we were sometimes asking ourselves why we chose what we chose, especially when mistakes were made. But we managed to pull it off. The doors were open and we didn't want to go back. We delivered the project on time and the further task was to repeat the success and build a reputation. And we did repeat it. More than 120 times.What we have learned from our first business year? Our approach was good but it needed to be better and to progress. 15 years later, we are modernized, better coordinated, and nurture the same “deep analysis” approach to every project entrusted to us.

The main thing when you start learning any programming language is to have a great resource from where you can start and spend quality time. The whole learning process is much easier when you have some great guide, at least to know what are the most valuable docs and tutorials.
The usual way to start learning is through video lessons. Ups, wrong!
The way that is much better is to go with the documentation first.
Xcode Program
If you want to be an iOS dev, you need to have one of the Apple products (laptop or desktop) and an iPhone is desirable but you can find simulators in Xcode so it can replace the iPhone.
Xcode is the main IDE for making an iOS application. It provides everything you need for programming, including simulators for every device that Apple supports. You can find the built-in documentation inside the Xcode, you can debug your code, track the performance of the application, and much more. In one sentence - All in one.
Swift road and Where to Start
Let’s take a closer look at the swift road that I am trying to follow.
It is the learning curve for beginners and also some advanced info. Let me unclutter some things in the beginning. Basic stuff can be swift as a programming language, Xcode, and playground part of the Xcode where you can check and test small codes and play in swift in general. Common or next step should be to get to know about Human Interface Guidelines.
In the deep, it can be app structure and design pattern as oop and package manager, testing tools, and deployment.
Main and Side Documentation and Resources
If you want to know what's the one place you can learn everything from, take a look at this documentation collection.
My learning process starts with going through swift documentation.
You can find everything useful about getting to know a language. In the end, it is just reading with concentration.
After that, you can visit HackingWithSwift which is a little more organized with lessons and of course, the main thing that you can find in lessons or blog form is https://www.raywenderlich.com
The most helpful information you can get from the books:
- iOS Apprentice - Beginning iOS Development with Swift and UIKit - Joey deVilla, Eli Ganim & Matthijs Hollemans
- Swift Apprentice - Ehab Amer, Alexis Gallagher, Matt Galloway, Eli Ganim, Ben Morrow, and Cosmin Pupaza
- SwiftUI by Tutorials - Antoni Bello, Phil Laszkowicz, Bill Morefield & Audrey Tam
In those books, you can learn through the examples of mini-projects.
The most important thing to me is to get knowledge of some inevitable stuff in programming. You can find this part of the blog everywhere in the programming world.
So in the meanwhile, you should pay attention to the design patterns and architecture, also you need to pay attention to the project structure.
Which design pattern you need to apply depends on the type of application.
You can pick MVC or MVVM design implementation in your project and clean architecture. The difference is mostly in whether you want to use UIKit or SwiftUI. Once again this is the most popular design pattern.
Patterns and Framework Explanation
UIKit
This is the one way of programming that you can divide on MVC or clean architecture. This is the traditional way of programming with storyboards which requires mostly applying MVC pattern and you can use UIKit with clean architecture implementation which looks like dry coding without storyboards (visual representation of pages in the device). This way of programming is better (in my opinion) because you can better understand what is going on in the code when you merge in git or resolve conflicts. The only thing that is a little odd is because you need to build your project to see changes.
SwiftUI
The other similar way that I have already mentioned above is SwiftUI which combines these two options. You can write only code without storyboards, but you can check changes (visually) in the preview window in the Xcode.
MVC
Model-View-Controller is one of the building blocks of Cocoa packages.
The three roles are:
Model - The objects that hold your application data and define how to manipulate it.
View - The objects that are in charge of the visual representation of the Model and the controls that user can interact with.
Controller - is the mediator that coordinates all the work.
The project structure with MVC in use.
MVVM
Model-View-ViewModel is a structural design pattern that separates objects into three distinct groups:
Models - hold the application data. They are usually structs or simple classes.
View - display visual elements and controls on the screen.
View models - transform model info into values that can be displayed on the view. They are usually classes.
Clean Architecture
It is the conceptual application architecture for scale and can be simply described as an onion layered architecture. It can be split into VIPER and RIB’s implementations.
- VIPER stands for the View, Interactor, Presenter, Entity, and Router. Those are the building blocks of that architecture. RIB’s stands for Router, Interactor, Builder.
- Builder is responsible for fetching or creating dependencies for the interactor, router, and view/presenter and initializing them.
- The router is responsible for navigating to specific children RIB’s.
- Interactor is responsible for all the business logic.
- The presenter and the view are typically combined in a view controller where the presenter is responsible for formatting data and display in the view.
- The view is responsible for displaying data on the screen and collecting user input.
The other design patterns that can be in use are SIngleton, Delegate, Observer …
Tutorials
After all of the process, you can watch some tutorials.
My favorite is from the Stanford YT channel.
A very good channel where you can find explanations is CodeWithChris.
Please check the Developer app on iOs or MacOS.
For more information and interaction with real developers, you can check the slack group - ios-developers.slack.com. Do not expect to be an iOS developer and find a job after a couple of months, the learning process is much longer.
Quantox- Paving the Road For Future iOS Developers!
Quantox knows that having the right resources is the path to becoming an amazing developers. That's why in our organisation our people have access to some of the best learning tools in order to master iOS development. Today, we have some of the best iOS developers in the country because we believed in our people and supported them in their growth. With Quantox, your iOS app is built by the people who've been learning it right and doing it even better. Let's Talk!
The Quantox story begins in a house next to the garage, a place that today can testify to the numerous business ideas and efforts. The founder of the company is Vuk Popović who is well known on the IT scene today, but if we go back to 1998, we will see a young man who, without experience and capital but with strong will and perseverance, enters the world of serious business. Vuk transfers his great interest in computers, specifically in sales and modern technologies, to his brother Milan with whom he starts a business. The story went on, it progressed, and the BPO sector was opened. Vuk decided to take another risk and with the support of his family, he opened the company Media in Limited. Great effort and work have led to the growth of the number of projects and the number of employees. Shortly after the whole business had its turning point when the decision to start providing programming services was made.Entering the world of software development made the list of satisfied clients and completed large projects even bigger. Quantox is a company that started its journey in Ćuprija. With both small and big steps, risks, and sacrifices, one name was created. One team functions perfectly, even though our people are in different locations. We are a community that is carefully created and built and that sets us apart from others. A community that, out of few young people who had a clear vision for the future, reached the number of 300 highly qualified professionals from various IT fields. All these steps have led to Quantox being an international company that is conquering not only new markets but also trust from developers who want to continue to grow with us. For 15 years this story has been developing, gaining its significance, symbols, and recognizability. The boy's dreams came true and Quantox continues to spread its spirit, brand and success.

Object Calisthenics are basically programming exercises, formalized as a set of 9 rules.
By trying to follow these rules as much as possible, you will naturally change how you write code. Of course, it doesn’t mean you have to strictly follow all these rules, all the time.
Here are the 9 rules for writing a better code:
- Only One Level Of Indentation Per Method
- Don’t Use The ELSE Keyword
- Wrap All Primitives And Strings
- First Class Collections
- One Dot Per Line
- Don’t Abbreviate
- Keep All Entities Small
- No Classes With More Than Two Instance Variables
- No Getters/Setters/Properties
#1: Only One Level of Indentation per Method
Having more than one indentation level is often considered bad for readability and maintainability, it's not easy to understand the code without executing step by step in your head, especially if there is a loop in another loop, or if there are multiple conditions nested.
By following this rule, code will be split into separate methods. The number of lines will not be reduced, but the readability will be improved significantly.
#2: Don't Use The ELSE Keyword
If else cases can get hard to read, and they don't really bring any value to the code.
An easy way to remove the else keyword is to implement an early return solution.
#3: Wrap All Primitives And Strings
To avoid Primitive Obsession, all the primitives should be encapsulated within objects. If the variable of your primitive type has a behavior, you MUST encapsulate it.
Objects like Money, or Hour for instance.
#4: First-Class Collections
The collection class should not contain any other member variables. If you have a collection of elements and you want to manipulate them, you should create a dedicated class.
Each collection gets wrapped in its own class, and all the behaviors for filtering applying rules are encapsulated inside of it.
#5: One Dot Per Line
Method calls should not be chained (this does not apply to Fluent Interfaces and Method Chaining Pattern, any other class should respect this rule). It's directly related to respecting the Law of Demeter. Objects should talk only to closest friends.
#6: Don't Abbreviate
If you keep writing the same name over and over again, that will probably lead to code duplication.
If the class/method name is too long, it probably means that it has more than one responsibility, violating SRP. Naming is a big thing and can improve your code a lot. Abbreviations can lead to confusion because not everybody will understand what abbreviation means, so the trade-off is not worth it.
#7: Keep All Entities Small
“No class over 50 lines and no package over 10 files.”
The idea behind this rule is that long files are harder to read, harder to understand, and harder to maintain.
This is obviously very hard to apply (not even applicable to some languages like PHP, but it can be adapted), but IMO classes/methods should be somewhat short and this rule should be applied to some concern, but respecting these exact numbers (50 lines, 10 lines) is not crucial. As long as your classes are not more than 100-200 lines (especially in languages like PHP), it's not that big of a deal.
#8: No Classes With More Than Two Instance Variables
This rule relies on RULE 3 (Wrap All Primitive and Strings), and its benefits are high cohesion, and better encapsulation.
The main idea is to distinguish two kinds of classes, those that maintain the state of a single instance variable, and those that coordinate two separate variables. Two is an arbitrary choice that forces you to decouple your classes a lot.
IMO this doesn't have to be exactly two instance variables but should be kept to a low number and it can be applied like in the following example:
#9: No Getters/Setters/Properties
As long as you don't use the result of the accessor to make the decision outside of the object it should be okay. Any decisions made upon the state of the object should be done inside of the object itself. That's why getters and setters are bad, they violate Open/Closed Principle directly.
In the end, some rules are very easy to follow and they will improve your coding a lot, other ones are not the easiest ones to pull off. It's up to you to decide when and which one you want to implement and practice them in your spare time.
One Rule For Better IT Solutions- Quantox!
Quantox programmers and developers are a team and as such they've adopted coding practices which makes the code understandable for every team member. By having a clean code we can all participate in creating a better, stronger and safer applications for our clients. Here, a good organisation is the key, and we start at how we write your code. Let's Talk!
Being an entrepreneur and starting a business story of your own, always carries a lot of courage but also a lot of risks. You work every day, try your best to prove yourself, and be recognizable on the market.
When you achieve a certain success and that success, at some point, leads you to some major and crucial changes. Anyone who has participated in a process of building a brand knows how long-lasting and well-thought-out it is. That is why any major change in it leads to serious decision weighing. Reason - you’re getting into rebranding. There are many questions. How to name the company? Is it better to give some symbolic, hidden meaning? Will the market understand our new message? Time will tell if you made the right decision.
The time showed us that, after many consultations and suggestions of the whole team, we did the right thing by choosing the path called Quantox Technology. Word Quantox as itself has no specific meaning. For us, on the other hand, it means a lot. It is a symbol of an idea created 15 years ago and which has been successfully implemented and continued to grow. A word that has weight today, that carries one brand and that is recognizable to the wider IT community.
For us, Quantox means responsibility. Responsibility for each accepted project, no matter how challenging. From the idea, through strategy to the presentation of the finished product and its future maintenance. Responsibility for meeting deadlines, respecting everyone’s time and obligations. Responsibility for the normal functioning of all our 10 offices, especially during a pandemic.
Quantox represents stability. We are thinking of 300 families. Kovid, various changes in the law, did not shake us. There was no withdrawal or radical moves. On the contrary. We kept the team, we kept the job. We also opened the jubilee 10th office. We came out as winners and that is the success of the company itself and all of us who are part of it.
Quantox is a synonym of progress for young people. We are proud of our professional development program. Great attention is paid to creating the whole process of practice, choosing the right mentor for each individual candidate, and also measuring the final results. The success of interns and their further employment is really on a high level. This program, among other things, helped us to enrich our team with extremely high-quality people.
Quantox is a domestic brand. It originated in Serbia. We live, grow and prosper in Serbia. Yes, we have stepped into new markets, but we are pleased to introduce all our international colleagues to Serbian customs. Our people selflessly and openly share their knowledge and experience.
That is why there are no boundaries for us. We are one team, we are a Serbian brand and wherever we do business, everyone knows where we come from.
There were many opportunities to talk about various different topics. He is just like that - a man-made of experience and stories. Once, we tried to summarize his biography in one sentence. We ended up with an ideal description that goes like this - Excavator, secret correspondent of the “Drevni Vanzemaljci” show, and seeker of the ghost sword of Alexander the Great.He is Igor, internally known as Gojko. He is a recruiter, exceptional interlocutor, and even better friend. Many of us have spoken to him, some of us even had the opportunity to meet him. He surely justified the title of this interview - The first voice of Quantox. He has been with us for five years, we surely congratulate him on this jubilee, and wish to continue to rock as before. Disclaimer: This interview was originally done as a video. The recruiter was interviewed. The interviewer was also a recruiter. Originally it was supposed to be a short conversation, but it lasted almost an hour. We naively thought it would be different :) These are recruiters, talking is their thing. We tried to do a transcript of the video. This is one 1/24 of the conversation :)
- We know that you are, almost, an archeologist. What brought you to the world of recruitment?
The recruiter has the strangest ways :) After finishing college and getting the job, I quickly realized that archeology is not something I could do for the rest of my life. Luckily, a friend of mine introduced me to the IT world where I realized that recruitment is the path I want to take for the future development of my career.
- Tell us something about the company.
This company is made of people ( I “accidentally” chose some of them :)) and people are an invaluable source and that is the reason why this company got to this level. The team is great, always ready to help each other, and I don’t have enough amazing words to describe them.
- Do you remember your first day at work?
Yes, it was quite interesting. The crew of 15 people welcomed me and it was such a relaxed atmosphere. I still remember the famous big whiteboard with caricatures of every new member done by our colleague Uroš.
- What are the adventures over the past five years that directly associate you with Quantox?
Pushups in the office, coffee breaks, and Vukota who has an interview with a candidate in the closet cos all conf rooms and offices are occupied.
- What characteristics do you think have helped you the most in your work?
Definitely flexibility.
- Why recruitment?
Recruitment is personally quite challenging for me. It’s great because it is not just about interviews and making contacts as most people think. It combines several areas - marketing, sales, and IT itself and requires constantly following the market.
- Do you have a number or rough assumption of how many people you have talked to in the last 5 years?
I don’t have a precise number but it is not small for sure. I and the numbers have always been at war, but I believe that figure is certainly five digits.
- You don’t have just one hobby, but tell us which one is your favorite?
Definitely music, I even set up a little studio for me. Also, playing with raspberry pie, in fact, one arcade game is in the final development stage.
- Now one really serious question - how many Slava do you visit during the year?
Hahahahah twenty I would say.
- What do we get by matching a Canadian bear and Tesla’s electric vehicle?
Fuzzy cover for steering wheel :)
- Your time during the weekend is reserved for what?
Family, good SF book, and air rifle restoration.
- Something that you did and you wouldn’t do it again.
Got drunk from tequila.
- Which is the weirdest food you have ever tasted?
Once, there was a big plate of seafood, a lot of it. I was extremely hungry and I think I even ate the decorations on the plate. Result - serious allergic reaction to something.
- What would you never give up?
Listening to music.
- What would you advise yourself 5 years ago?
Don’t change anything.
- If you are not a recruiter what would you be?
Frontend developer. I am always amazed how one piece of code that you write can make something.
Besides programming, there is an opportunity for developers to join internship programs as mentors. It is a special challenge, but also a pleasure when you successfully transfer the acquired knowledge to younger colleagues. A responsible but also demanding approach is necessary, so here is some good advice that you can apply during the program.
Get to know your mentee When you take on the role of mentor, one of the important tasks is to get to know the person you are mentoring. This will help you to understand the obstacles that the mentee encounters and thus finding an adequate solution will be easier. From my personal experience, during the internship program, really positive reactions occur when, as a mentor, you show interest in the mentee's hobbies and if your work plan is in the line with his interests, the results are even better. When a candidate works according to such a plan, he is additionally motivated, goes a step further, and will, very likely, dare to step out of the comfort zone.
Communication is the keyMentoring brings responsibility. You need to be there for candidates. Of course, we are not talking about the obligation to answer the questions immediately, especially when other projects are active, but you should not go to the other side and not answer for hours. It is necessary to harmonize communication with the mentee, to respond to all doubts in an adequate time, and encourage candidates to discuss and express their opinions and potential task solutions. Very often candidates are reluctant to ask questions because they feel they are stealing your time and don’t want to bother, they think those questions are too basic. In that case, you have to step up, encourage them and make it perfectly clear that you are there for them. This prevents the creation of any potential communication barriers. You have to be able to listen, let the candidate express his idea, and give your own if you have one. These steps show that you are interested in your interns, in their work and thus make a significant contribution to strengthening their self-confidence.
Plan and goals All these steps that I am talking about are some of the ways of motivation and encouragement. However, you have to keep in mind the main reason for mentoring - interns came to learn and progress, and therefore it is necessary to set work goals and a plan according to which those goals will be achieved. It is a good idea to start with smaller tasks, which can be quickly realized. In that way, the mentee has the impression that he is progressing and there will be fewer chances for them to be demotivated and give up. It is necessary to go gradually, in smaller steps, which will eventually lead to the realization of more serious goals and challenges. Don’t make plans that take 3 or 4 months to complete, because these are people who are often without any previous work experience and who can really drop down if big tasks are put in front of them. One of the suggestions could be to give a candidate a chance to break one larger task into smaller ones, for him to get used to such a working system. This can be followed by some of your personal examples where you got to the solution by dissolving a big goal into several smaller ones and working on them step by step. So, at the beginning of the internship program, stick to tasks that can be solved in a couple of hours, and later you can set bigger challenges.
Checkup It is recommended to take your time for monitoring the mentee’s work and progress. To be more specific - use spontaneous conversations with your candidate and find out how far he has gone and whether he needs any help. Also, an official meeting once a week where you will together check all tasks and problems from past days will benefit both sides. Keep a record of your conversations, notes on problems encountered and solutions agreed. These records will help you later to see if the mentee has followed your recommendations or he found other solutions.
Constructive feedbackWhen you are a mentor, your opinion of someone’s work has a lot of significance. That is why it must be honest, and provided promptly. This means that you have to react immediately if you notice any mistake. Giving feedback can sometimes be uncomfortable, but it is necessary if you want a candidate to progress. If your opinion has a negative connotation, make a plan on how you will say it as well as mandatory steps on how to resolve the problem and prevent further possible mistakes in the future. By doing so, you make it known that you are aware that a problem exists and that you want to work together to solve it. If you show some examples of solving mistakes and misjudgments, you have also contributed to the candidate not giving up. Of course, there is more than just negative feedback. Highlight, praise a good idea, solution, or significant effort to achieve the goal. What is by no means allowed - not providing an opinion and not giving any feedback to the candidate.
Mentor student Mentoring can be challenging, sometimes it can take you more time than you planned and require a lot of patience. However, it awards you significant progress. A good mentor never stops being a student. Don’t be surprised if, at the end of the internship program, it comes out that you are the one who learned a lot, maybe more than the candidate themselves.

For many years, we have been interested in the development potential of local communities that lack the opportunity for growth. We want to create those opportunities by providing support for the local Startup scene in Ćuprija. Today, fortunately, we can witness numerous examples of fantastic Startup stories that have been realised and set off on the path of further success. However, the reality is a little bit different. Many people have great business ideas but not enough investment to go a step further in development and ‘launch’ their product or service. Many questions arise here - how to start, what are the necessary steps?Quantox Technology has decided to help implement these steps. Providing all the necessary technical support, we want to give that much needed `push` for a maximum of 10 Startups registered in Ćuprija. With an investment of up to 50.000 euros, which will be reflected in technical support and consulting, we want to help business stories that arise far from large IT centers.All Startups registered on the territory of Ćuprija will have the opportunity to apply and Quantox will, as a technical partner, support the growth and development of the local community.All information, as well as application forms, you can get via mail startup@quantox.com Let’s start up together!
A situation like “You are missing one paper” is unknown to her. In her creative chaos, as she calls her desk, you can find every contract, invoice, greeting card, note or long-forgotten phone number. She is someone who laughs loudly and contagiously. Although she is mostly the oldest in the team, the spirit of the student did not leave her. That is why most of her colleagues would characterize her as - joyful. And for some unknown reason, she always has the strangest costume at masquerades.If the repairman is needed in the middle of the night, she has a man. If anything needs to be fixed urgently, she has a man. If you need to find a rare whiskey, a book, an animal :), she has a man.She is Dragana, known to us as Jana, and for 5 years we have had the privilege to spend every working day with her.Happy five years of work and to celebrate beautiful moments together for a long time.
- What would you advise yourself 5 years ago?
Nothing, just to take the best from every situation I’m in and to be patient. Time is the one that teaches you wisdom and gives you experience.
- Do you remember your first day at work?
I remember that I was very happy and fulfilled. We were in the old office, 15 of us. I had a beautiful welcome from the whole team. Everyone worked relaxed, with music, and then, I got the nickname Jana. I was not into it the first time, but later I got used to it.
- What people don’t know about you?
I don’t know why, but they don’t believe that I know how to cook. Everyone thinks that my husband does that in my house.
- What would you never give up?
Sea and chocolate.
- Which moment is most memorable to you?
Halloween, when we organised a celebration with cocktails and masks...and our New Year’s celebrations as well as Team Buildings and hanging outs till dawn… And of course you Nađa, as my roommate on all trips :)
- Do you hang out with colleagues out of work?
When we have time, we gather together and there is always some good food around. Now, with our kids, private gatherings became bigger.
- Which of your professional skills do you consider to be most valuable?
Persistence and communicativeness. I have a specific way of communicating with people that turned out to be very successful. To be honest, I really love my job and I think that communication is my strongest skill. There lies my success.
- How would your colleagues describe you?
I am someone who cheers people up and lifts the atmosphere in the office.
- How much paper went through your hands?
A lot. Tons, I think.
- What is the secret to keeping old binders?
We have to keep them for 5 years, that is the role…There is always documentation that is needed at some point, and I personally have a small archive in my desk that is not thrown away. Sometimes I’m the only one who can save the day.
- What are the verses of Jana that you like the most?
I don’t listen to that kind of music but I do like the song Hajde Jano konja da prodamo….Often Nebojša (my husband) says to me - Jana, please make some coffee.
- What kind of coffee do Neša and Đole like to drink? ( your postmen)
They eat candies, they are my super postmen who helped me a lot during the lockdown last year. Those two men are always willing to meet our needs.
- What is the difference between management and worker-ment? :)
It’s a great thing that when you know the difference and you don’t start to act arrogant once you move up to a higher position. That famous sentence came about when some young colleagues clumsily became interested in ‘who is who’, of course in a humorous way, while we played darts. Then I had to explain ‘who is who’, right? :) First ‘who’ is management, the second one is worker-ment :)
- Do you have some totally irrational fear of something?
Fear of loneliness.
- Weirdest food that you have tasted?
Chinese and I don’t like it.
- If you are not an administrative manager, what would you be?
Stewardess, that was my wish since primary school. And to study geography, that was my favourite subject. And then, I ended up studying law…

A new milestone in the IT world! Building the future with strong partnerships!
Quantox Technology and Sandberg Capital have signed a partnership for the further expanding growth of the company, bringing it to a higher level! A €20 million investment is aimed at making a significant leap for Quantox’s future sustainable development, talent acquisition, and strategic global expansion.
Sandberg Capital is a Slovak private equity company established in 2014 with an AUM exceeding €340 million. It focuses on investments in small and medium businesses in the Slovak Republic and the region of Central and Eastern Europe, including among investors institutional ones, such as the European Investment Fund.
This partnership is one of the top 5 investments in the region so far, signed with companies from Serbia.
With Sandberg’s support, Quantox Technology plans to make successful breakthroughs in new markets, building even stronger client relationships with greater freedom and creativity in creating new software solutions.
“By entering into a partnership, we want to broaden our expertise and further strengthen our position as a leading IT employer in the region. Also, this investment will enable us to have a greater presence in the European and US markets, which will mean a lot to our clients by increasing the range of services in delivering high-end digital solutions and providing comprehensive IT support”
Vuk Popović, founder of Quantox Technology
The company’s focus remains the same – discovering new perspectives and empowering the Q team. The partnership is an additional lift that will bring Quantox even closer to long-term growth, sustainability and stability.
“Given Sandberg’s multiple investments in the IT sector, we see an increasingly strong push for digitalization across the economy. At the same time, we perceive a severe shortage of IT professionals that may be preventing companies from growing and achieving their strategic goals. The investment in Quantox reflects our long-term strategy of partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs in sectors that directly or indirectly help with the digital transformation of the economy,”
Michal Rybovič, Partner at Sandberg Capital.
Matej Klenovsky, Investment manager at Sandberg Capital, believes that Quantox and Sandberg share a similar growth mindset and have the same ambitions and perspectives for future achievements.
“Quantox, in addition to employing a large number of IT professionals and having a great ability to attract clients from various industries, is truly committed to the development of the local IT community. We believe that this company is more than ready for the next step and we are eager to follow them along the way, giving support through our experience, knowledge, and capital.“
Matej Klenovsky, Investment manager at Sandberg Capital
Both partners will be focused on strengthening Quantox’s business – establishing a local presence, expanding the spectrum of services to respond to clients’ demands from all parts of the world, and improving internal processes and organizational structure.
“We are extremely grateful for the trust and support of our new partners – this is a kind of confirmation for everything we have done so far, as well as the opportunity to be even better and grow together. Following the shared vision for Quantox, we strive for global expansion and adoption of new knowledge, skills, and experiences while preserving the values and culture of the company itself”
Vuk Popović, founder of Quantox Technology
With 16 years of experience, Quantox is recognized as a reliable partner in the world of digital technologies. After three successful acquisitions in the last year, this is an important step and kind of “wind at our back” that will lead us closer to our vision – to grow in expertise, nurture people as the priority value and become one of the most trusted and efficient partners in the digital world.
Quantox was advised by Grubišič & Partners – Corporate Finance as financial advisor and Four Legal as legal advisor and Sandberg Capital was advised by ESFA as financial advisor, EY as financial & tax due diligence advisors, and BDK Advokati as their legal support.
A new digital era is at our doorstep. By supporting clients worldwide and developing IT potential in our region – we continue making ideas and vision possible!
Proud to announce that our team has received another reinforcement! We are introducing Marko Nikolić – the New Head of Finance at Quantox.
With many years of experience in various senior positions and expertise in the financial sector, Marko brings a unique set of skills. He is highly creative, innovative, and well-versed in the latest financial trends and strategies.
His passion for finance and enthusiasm for achieving results and high goals make him the perfect person for this position at Quantox. With his expertise in the financial sector, Marko will bring fresh ideas that will help the company develop and grow even more.
What are the expectations, and what is the biggest challenge in working in an international IT company like Quantox?
My primary expectation is to grow professionally together with the company. The biggest challenge of working in a large company like Quantox is coordinating activities with many colleagues from several countries.
In what way will your experience contribute to Quantox in further business?
My experience is complementary to colleagues from the finance sector. I expect that it will contribute to the realization of new initiatives, such as, for example, the implementation of the new budget.
The events of the last few years have led to sudden turbulence in the global market. We see them even today, and they are, to some extent, the cause of changes in how many IT companies work. In your opinion, which strategies of financial adaptation to such changes have given good results, and which could be applied in Quantox – bearing in mind the spread of the company over seven markets?
Quantox has a concrete and straightforward business model, and we should stick to it – “back to basics”!
This can be a competitive advantage in the current global financial trends and can be used in both cases – to expand in the markets where Quantox already operates and to win new ones.
How do digitization and accelerated development of technology affect the role and work of the financial sectors? Do methods and approaches change, and how?
In the Finance and Accounting sector, a sudden jump in the application of Business Intelligence tools for reporting to management and investors was noticeable in the previous years. As a result, CFO-s and their teams had to adapt and improve their reporting. Modern platforms and programs help them in these endeavors; technology is progressing and taking an important place, so constant adjustments are also needed in this sector.
Many factors influence decision-making, especially now. What are the biggest risks, and what are the biggest opportunities you currently see for Quantox’s business?
I believe that the current global situation on the market is simultaneously the biggest risk – it can lead to a decrease in demand for our services – but also the biggest opportunity to expand into new markets under more favorable conditions than before.
What is your main motivation and inspiration in business – what drives you again and again?
I like to innovate, propose and create new things, and constantly look for ways to improve and upgrade that creation.
New Head of Managed IT Services opening new paths and opportunities for Quantox
Quantox is dedicated toward providing organizations with a solution for system monitoring and management that will help dispose of the break-fix approach. As a managed IT services provider, we aim to simplify IT management for other companies efficiently and affordably.
Dušan Milojević has the expertise and experience to make Quantox a leading managed IT services vendor in Europe, implement new IT technologies and build worldwide-applicable solutions with his team.
From Microsoft to Quantox – can you describe your career journey and what does it mean for you to further develop your expertise at Quantox?
I started from the university and Microsoft Academy, and then went through the positions of Consultant, Developer and Analyst. Right now my official role means leading three different teams for the implementation of various products. The biggest challenge for me to get the company as a leading vendor for managed services as Quantox is for custom development.
What are the goals of the managed IT services department and what do those goals bring to the overall business process of Quantox Technology?
The goals of the managed IT services department are to accumulate as much expertise and projects from various vendors like Microsoft, Salesforce, even IBM, and Oracle. The people in our department and their work are very strongly connected, no matter which team they depend on.
In the future, Quantox will expand its business areas and build solutions that can be implemented worldwide. So, the power this department gives to the company is being able to cover all needs that come from one customer. Custom development and managed services have a great tendency to work well together and bring new opportunities to each other.
After the first month at Quantox, what are your impressions?
I’m thrilled to be a part of Quantox. At the moment, I’m still trying to get all procedures lined up and getting to know the on-boarding team members while working with other colleagues on our first potential projects.
Why would a company need managed IT services and what parts of its environment would Quantox’s managed IT services department look after?
Companies in some sectors, like Fintech and Telco, use more than fifty systems in their daily business. All of those need to be integrated into one place, and that’s where we come in – we can fully cover all these processes with our team. Having a corporation as a client is a great opportunity that can lead us to long-term partnerships.
The IT industry is fast-paced and constantly evolving and at the moment we have many new technologies present at the scene. In your opinion, can those new technologies be implemented in the processes and what benefits would that bring?
Of course, we need to follow all new approaches and technologies. From the last conference in Munich, I’ve realized that we can integrate PowerApp with Business Central as an app that can be the solution for warehouse management with fewer costs instead of building the app by itself from scratch. We also plan to get RPA (robot process automation) part of the integration team and start working with machine learning. Quantox’s managed service department is pretty good at keeping up with the latest technology trends.
What do you think is the most interesting part of your job, and what are some of the biggest challenges Quantox managed IT services department may be faced with?
The most interesting things about working in Managed Services will be the projects and the possibility of having a proven team working for one of the biggest customers in their branches globally. However, the biggest challenge will be to put Quantox on the managed services market for this part of Europe which is our goal for the next two years.
What is your main drive, motivation, and inspiration in business – what drives you over and over again?
What drives me forward is having new opportunities on a daily level – new employees, technologies, countries, projects, and approaches. I also firmly believe that people can improve their skills only if they step out of their comfort zone, which is what my team and I are doing right now.

As one of the fastest developing industries, the mobile phone industry has brought us many innovations in the past decade, and software solutions capable of changing all aspects of our lives. Today, almost everything can be done through or on a smartphone, leading to the rise of mobile apps as a crucial part of our day-to-day lives. With the accessibility and connectivity that comes with our phones, it's clear to understand why having a mobile app is a smart business move. A business can offer convenience and rapidity to their users through their mobile app, catering to consumers via phones and reaching a broader scope of their target audience.
However, not many business owners know how to build a mobile app, so they are usually looking to hire a good and reliable software and app development company to build one that will ensure their brand's success. And with so many service providers, there's bound to be some stress over choosing the right app development company. So, to help you find the perfect app developing partner, we've presented a few important points you need to follow and shed some light on mobile app development companies and their services.
What do Mobile App Development Companies Do?
A mobile app development company is an agency specializing in designing and building apps and software solutions for all types of businesses and, more importantly, for various app development platforms and devices. Their development team can build any kind of app for mobile devices, smart devices, web, wearable technologies, smart TVs, tablets, and much more.
Their work includes programming the apps and creating an app concept, databases, admin panels, and APIs. Also, they'll be in charge of testing your mobile app, launching it on various app stores, and performing regular maintenance. But more importantly, a mobile app development company will take on the task of creating a design unique to your business brand and focus on giving the best user experience possible. This will allow your brand's voice and vision to come to life, reach your target audience faster and stand out from the competition with its functionality and consistency.
How to Choose the Best Mobile App Development Company?
Your business will benefit the most if you manage to find a company with extensive experience, proven performance, and knowledge of the latest technology and industry trends and business skills. Here's what you need to do in order to snatch a great app developing partner:
#1 Define Your App Development Needs
Before you even start thinking about searching for a mobile development company, you need to sketch your business app goals and needs. For example, are you a retailer and need an eCommerce mobile app? Do you offer content rather than goods? The answers to these questions will impact the technology and app development tools needed to create your mobile business app. Therefore, it would help if you had your app development needs laid out before you take that initial consultation with an app development company of your choosing because it's up to you to translate those needs to them and their developers in order for them to do their job well. If you fail to communicate what your mobile business app is all about, the values it should bring, and the problems it should solve for your users, you'll make it impossible for the development team to build a wholesome and effective app.
#2 Do Your Research: Check Out The Company's Portfolio
Checking a company's portfolio has never been easier. Today, most app development companies present their portfolio online and are happy to advertise their projects. Once you have your list of companies, go online and search for the projects they were involved with. You'll gain a clear sense of their technical expertise and industry domain. You can always ask them to show you examples of projects they've worked on similar to yours to gain insight into their experience. This will help you know whether the company is proficient at handling projects like yours and what their results were.
#3 Ask For References And Read Online Reviews
Testimonials and reviews are one of the most valuable clues you can find and learn more about the company's reputation. Happy clients and diversity in clients are clear signs you've found a great app development company. Likewise, people dissatisfied with the service and product are more likely to share their experience in an online review. This will allow you to determine the company's flaws, whether it was a one-time mistake or something that the company has had issues with for a while now. Now, thanks to the reviews, you know which companies you need to stay away from.
#4 Ask The Right Questions Before Hiring
The more questions you ask, the more you know about what awaits you when you start working with an app dev company. However, you should always ask those most important questions rather than being hung up on some minor details. Make sure you see the example of their previous projects, learn all you can about the cost of their service and hidden expenses (if any), and their maintenance and support services. Learn as much as you can about the services they offer and which part of the mobile app development they'll be in charge off. For example, most companies provide UI and UX services, but some don't. On the other hand, some companies may include developing a marketing strategy or giving you a complete market analysis of their price. Always clarify what you're getting for the cost of their service.
Here are some questions you need to ask your app development company:
- What is their Unique Selling Proposition (USP)?
- How much will the app cost?
- How long will it take to build the app?
- Should you build an Android or iOS app, and can they build both if needed?
- Who will manage the project and how?
- How will they test the app?
- Will they submit the app to the Stores?
- Can they refer you to a client in your sector?
- Do they offer maintenance and support services?
- Are they willing to sign the NDA (Non-disclosure) agreement?
- How can they handle your security concerns?
- How do they specify the code ownership?
- What is their approach to design?
- How many developers will be available for your project?
#5 Keep Communication Open Throughout The Entire Process
A company that does not offer feedback regularly is not really a company you'll want to work with. However, the more experienced app development companies will make an effort to include you in the app development process by giving you at least a weekly report on the mobile app dev process. They'll also notify you of any changes, issues, or setbacks that may impact your business app's price or timeline. This type of transparency and honesty on their part means you have chosen an app company you can trust. Look for a company that will give you at least a weekly update and keeps you posted throughout the whole development process. Don't be alarmed if the company is notifying you of issues and problems they've encountered while developing your app- this is an honest approach and a good communication practice on their part. With a company like that, you'll be sure there will be full transparency in work and that they're not trying to cover up their mistakes.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear exactly how much we can, and we do rely on technology to help us in our day-to-day life. The mobile application market has been burning since the first lock-down and in 2020 it was worth $318 billion. According to Statista, the mobile app market is expected to climb to $613 by 2025- a growth promising many opportunities for mobile software developers to build and deliver extraordinary mobile applications. This is why mobile apps are considered a smart business move in 2022.
With the technology advancements, consumer demands, and many other factors, mobile app trends are on the rise, but also hard to keep up with. Staying up to date with the latest mobile app trends is the most vital thing for businesses that want to leverage mobile apps to boost user interaction, retention, and increase sales. Furthermore, with the rise of mobile application trends, it becomes clear why investing in an app is a smart business move, one every business needs to consider.
What are the Application Development Industry Trends in 2022?
caption mobile app development trends 2022
Armed with the tools for app development that will help you dominate your market, following these app development trends can be a game-changer for your company and your business mobile app.
- 5G
Where once 5G was just an idea in the making, now it has become an industry standard. With 5G everything we do on our phones from this year on will be faster and more efficient. While some application development trends end up being just a one-year trend, 5G will change the way mobile apps are being built. With so many advantages of the 5G coming with every new device, developers have more opportunities to create faster, more efficient, and innovative apps.
Furthermore, it will be easier for businesses to move to 5G in 2022 because many mobile operators stated they will dedicate as much as 80% of their profit to building 5G networks until 2025, according to GMSA Mobile Economy 2021 Report. Also, 5G technology may pave the way for Open-Ran, an open radio access network, which is an industry-wide standard for RAN interfaces that support the exchange of information between vendors' equipment.
- Mobile Commerce
Another thing the COVID-19 pandemic changed significantly is the way people go shopping. With the restrictions and lockdowns, people globally had to rely on the online eCommerce sector. To stay afloat, many businesses and retailers relied on mobile apps to earn profit during the crisis. And it worked. Not only that, but mobile apps during the pandemic also provided a much-needed sense of normality to all people by allowing them to shop for groceries, clothes, and other essentials.
Now, however, businesses are facing much larger competition and the only way to come out on top is to leverage an eCommerce business app.
Not only is an eCommerce app easy to use and gives easy access to products and services to its users, but it's also a great marketing tool. By using mCommerce platforms as a marketing channel, you directly connect to the end-users. Now, all it takes is a few push notifications of the latest deal, or a newsfeed informing them about the new offer, and you'll have better chances of reaching your target customers. Furthermore, if they decide to purchase your service or a product, this type of app will offer faster transactions for them, and they can get what they want in a shorter amount of time.
Mobile eCommerce can also increase in-store sales. Your users may use your mobile eCommerce app to check for product availability, pricing options, and reviews. By the time they come to the store, they've already decided to purchase your product.
- Blockchain
One of the biggest concerns of mobile app users is the misuse of their personal data. Blockchain technology trends can solve this issue because it provides decentralized databases. So, those mobile apps that use blockchain technology for security purposes become end-to-end encrypted. This means no person or company has the rights to the data or to modify the data. E-banking systems and e-wallets use blockchain technology for safer digital transactions and knowing how to find an app development company you can trust is imperative if you want to build this type of mobile application.
Keeping duplicate records and third-party validations can make any system vulnerable to fraud and cyberattacks. Blockchain is a members-only network, meaning you'll be receiving timely and accurate data, which can be shared only with those to whom you specifically granted access. As all transactions are recorded permanently, they are immutable, and not even a system administrator can delete them. And lastly, every transaction can be sped up with something called a smart contract- a set of rules which is stored on the blockchain and can be executed automatically. So, when it comes to security, blockchain is guaranteed to give you that and then some.
- Augmented Reality Technology
All the latest mobile app development trends include AR as a way to give a personalized experience to the end-user. Sellers and retailers can use AR to showcase their products in a more realistic way and even give their customers an option to try on clothes virtually before making a purchase.
However, AR is not just a great trend to follow for retailers. Google Maps has something called ''Live View'‘; a feature created with the help of augmented reality technology. It lets you see the route in real-time on real-world images. We also must mention Pokémon Go which paved the way for AR in mobile app development with its unique and revolutionary way of using AR to engage its users.
Out of all trends, AR offers the most unique digital experience to the users. The best thing about it- your users don't need any special platform, hardware, or software to enjoy it. AR was first labeled as a gaming and entertainment technology, but there are so many examples of AR being used by businesses to increase user engagement. Those are the businesses that also managed to stand out from the crowd and cast a shadow on their competition by using AR to its full capacity. With AR they were able to come up with more creative campaigns that increased their position in the market.
- Wearable Technology
No matter how convenient and easy mobiles are and how they've absolutely minimized the user's effort needed to handle one, we still need to use at least one hand for them. Driving with the phone has even become punishable by law since mobile phones prove to be a distraction during rides.
This is the reason why wearables have gained such popularity and the industry has been growing more each year. Manufacturers and developers today are designing several different versions of smartwatches and smart earbuds and all of them allow their users to take phone calls and navigate their destination while being engaged in another activity. Today, wearables are an industry valued at over $44 billion and one of the top mobile application trends.
Mobile-first Approach in Application Development
Cell phones today are being used more than ever and are embedded in our daily routines. With their busy schedules, people have just a few moments to check for news while waiting for the train or an appointment. All the downtime we have is being used to ''check something online'' and it's no surprise that on average people use their phones as much as 5 hours per day.
The term ''mobile-first'' was coined by Google CEO Eric Schmidt back in 2010 when he first recognized that developing and designing applications for mobiles has great potential. Mobile-first approach was supposed to fix the problem of desktop applications giving a low-quality user experience when switched to mobile, which was always a problem between different app development platforms. However, if the applications were created and designed with the mobile-first approach, prioritizing features and capabilities of this app development platform, developers would get a space where they can be creative about how to engage users.
The ''Mobile-first'' approach is specifically important in design. The mobile-first design means that you start designing a mobile app from the mobile end, which has more restrictions. Once you satisfy the mobile platform criteria you can expand the app's features to create a desktop or a tablet version. This method is also called progressive advancement. However, if the designers decide to do it the other way around, start building the app from an advanced end like a desktop then gradually cut some functions or content to make it compatible with the mobile end, this method is called graceful degradation.

When it comes to developing software for either a company or an individual, questions like ''How much will this cost'' and ''How much time will this take?'' are inevitable. One of the most important things that a project depends on is the cost of software development.
It's only natural for the clients to wonder whether they can afford software development and if it will be done within the desired timeframe. Most of the sales meetings will revolve around this question. However, many clients often don't realize how many different factors impact the cost of software development because the highly complex estimate process is not transparent to them.
Still, when it comes to everything you need to know about software development in 2022 and all things related to making a good estimate, it's easy to get lost in a sea of information. That's why we decided to try to explain and help you understand this process better. The points we present to you will clarify the difference between Time and Effort and show you additional factors used to come up with a valid software development project estimate.
Average Cost of Software Development
If you are a start-up owner, having a precise estimate of the software development cost can help you plan your budget better. However, if you don’t have a detailed discussion with an IT company about the costs, all you’re going to get are vague answers.
This happens because more than just one factor determines the cost of the software. An app that requires only backend processing is much cheaper than one that’s connected to external systems and involves financial transactions. Still, a project’s complexity level is only one factor.
Other vital factors are the technology and people-hour required to build the software. The consensus online is that software development can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $250,000. If the app can be built in under 700 hours, the cost will be in the lower price range, but if you want the same app to work across all platforms (web, Android, iOS…), the cost will rise to a 6-figure price.
Please take note that the prices listed in this article do not reflect the actual pricing of Quantox Technology but are rather a reflection of an analysis related to the average software development costs in the industry.
Main Factors of Estimating Software Development
The perfect software development cost estimate will consider that we are not living in a perfect world, and circumstances that are out of our control can happen often. Things like staff availability, deployment process, and the time it will take to access the system, or a database will affect the timeline of the project and, therefore, can affect the cost. However, the following factors are the most important to explore if you want to learn how to determine the cost of software development in 2022.
- Platform
Different platforms like Android, Web, and iOS have a different volumes of users, and depending on which platform you’re building your software, you’ll be able to reach a different number of possible users. However, developing a cross-platform app takes means that the cost of software development is going to go up. A cross-platform app is deployable on all platforms with the same codebase. Still, you need an experienced team to save time on building this type of app, and it may not even be the best solution for products that include streaming, graphs, and dashboards.
Your next solution is to build a native app for each platform meaning one codebase for iOS native to this platform, and a different code for Android. However, this solution is also the most expensive one as you’re building two separate applications. You can always do what most start-ups do- focus on one platform until you achieve a certain level of success and expand your budget. After that, you can easily take on the cost of building the same app for all other platforms.
Now you're probably wondering, "But what about the cost of the software development technology?". If you opt for one of these 10 software development trends in 2022, like augmented reality, virtual reality, or blockchain, it may cost you more. However, you're still paying a developer, engineer, or programmer for the job. Most of these technologies do not require a special type of equipment to execute a project successfully- it's the knowledge and effort of the person working on it that's going to cost a little bit extra.
- Type of software project
Software development projects can be divided into the following types starting from the lowest level to the highest:
- Web Development: a custom web-based software development
- Software Integration: the existing software's capability is expanded by adding custom code. Here we include plugins, or packages like Office, data flow manipulation (NetSuite to QuickBooks), and similar.
- Software Modification: large-scale enhancement of the already existing software
- New Software Development: custom development of brand-new software.
Depending on the type of the project, we'll need a different team with a different amount of development effort. Once we have all the facts, we will reach the final estimate by combining this information with the project size analysis and team analysis.
The Size of the Software Project
This step can be a bit trickier because the size of the project sometimes doesn't correspond to its complexity. A large project can sometimes be more straightforward than a small but highly complicated project. Generally, software development projects are divided into small, medium, large, and enterprise.
- Small Software Project: Small software projects are considered those that will involve minor changes like making bug fixes or making minor changes to the user interface. All communication with the client will be them saying, "I want this changed/fixed," followed by "Here is how we changed/fixed it."
- Medium Software Project: In this category, we can include a small mobile application or web interface- anything where we have a single source of data. Medium-sized projects do include more minor tweaks and fixed, but also solutions and integrations. The interaction with the client is not as limited, and you may expect a few sessions or regular weekly check-ins.
- Large Software Projects: Almost everything is included in large-scale software projects: syst4ems integration, databases, security, logging features, framework, thinking hard about maintainability and scalability while creating multi-party applications across all known platforms. The client interaction is often daily, with weekly status calls being made to the higher-level management.
- Enterprise Software Project: Think of a large project and multiply it by a dozen. Enterprise-level projects are almost always built upon an underlying framework. Security, error handling, and logging are much stricter, while data integrity has become vital for these applications. Support systems are built to be "bulletproof" and handle as many as three concurrent faults without the user noticing anything. A great example is an Uber mobile app. In these types of projects, the client and the IT team become one, and their interaction includes daily status reports and calls across teams and divisions and weekly status calls to the higher-level management.
- Size of Development Team
When it comes to the size of the development team on one project, usually, we'll have at least three roles- a Project Manager, a Developer, and a QA Tester. However, depending on the size of the project, these three can expand the scope of their work, and we can have a developer who's also in charge of a testing phase. Larger projects, however, prefer to assign one role to one team member to get the job done.
- Location
Hiring software developers anywhere in the US or Western Europe may overwhelm your budget because their hourly fee averages around $100/hour. The developers based in eastern Europe proved that they could build software applications without compromising the quality and at a much lower rate. Asia can also offer software development professionals at a lower rate, but time zone, language barriers, and cultural differences proved to be a challenge for any type of project.
- Hiring Options
The IT industry allows you to find the best developers in the world to work on your software. You can hire a software developer in three different ways- as a freelancer, within an in-house team, or by outsourcing a development company.
-Freelance Software Developers: While there are a lot of great freelancing platforms where you can find amazing software developers for a low price, there’s practically little to no guarantee that your project will be completed successfully, if at all. There’s also no way for you to control the freelancer and the progress they are making on your project.
-In-house: Having an in-house software developer means hiring the one to work on your project from the comfort of your own office. That way, any issues or bugs can be resolved on the spot. However, the recruitment process can be time-consuming, even with the help of LinkedIn or Glassdoor. You’ll also find that having an in-house software engineer can require more investments in salaries, taxes, and equipment as well. Also, you’ll find out that software developers need a lot of really helpful software development tools to allow them to build and integrate your new software app, and this is something that will also have to come out of your budget.
-Outsourced: Software Development Outsourcing has a much more significant impact on the cost of software development. While developing software in-house does provide a certain amount of security to the client, the cost of outsourcing software development outweighs the additional security by reducing the cost by 40%.
This happens because there's a gap between developed and developing countries like India and Mexico. With outsourcing, you can cut costs and still get a top-notch product. All it takes is a bit more focus on choosing the best software development partner in 2022 to get your project completed.

Uplift for further steps
Quantox leaders are awarded the "EY Fast Growing Entrepreneur 2021" prize by the global auditing and consulting company Ernst & Young.
Vuk Popović and Filip Karaičić on behalf of Quantox Technology have been recognized among the most successful in 2021. at a ceremony which was held in Belgrade last month. This is the tenth year in a row that E & Y, through its global “Entrepreneur of the Year™” program, supports and promotes entrepreneurial achievements among individuals and companies that demonstrate vision, leadership and success.
Quantox is a story about vision.
Proof that ideas and dreams come true.
Vuk Popovic, founder, says:
"For me, being an entrepreneur means never stopping to learn and develop. Tackling technology 15 years ago as an entrepreneurial endeavour - with willpower, effort and persistence - has made Quantox an international company with more than 500 experts working in 13 development centres in 7 countries. It took courage and the vision remained the same - improving our environment, the city, the country and the whole IT sphere and the world of technology by improving ourselves. "
According to Vuk, it was not easy at the very beginning, but each phase of development had its own challenges and achievements.
“One of the first goals was to primarily enable people across our country to work in the IT industry for global clients from their home city. The sudden changes and challenges in the last two years when we switched to remote work have shown how flexible we are and company still has continued to grow rapidly due to such circumstances, which was additionally influenced by the market situation. Today, the company cooperates with clients from over 15 countries around the world and various industries - from small brands to large international companies, which is a great motivation to be even better. One of the biggest challenges is achieving stable and sustainable growth and that is what we are constantly striving for - to grow stronger and improve quality, every day. This award is certainly an extra push in that mission."
Filip Karaičić, CEO of Quantox Technology, confirms that the journey took a lot of years, effort and energy, but after expanding into new foreign markets, doubling the number of employees in the last two years and the first domestic acquisitions, the company is more than ever ready for new steps forward.
"The end of the previous year was marked with the first Quantox’s acquisition in Serbia and we entered the spring of 2022. stronger for another domestic company and new team members. We are growing and pushing the boundaries and we are glad to be recognized in that stride. The IT industry is one of the fastest growing, providing constant dynamics and new opportunities. We believe that our position also brings the responsibility to encourage the progress of each individual, company as a whole and thus contribute to an even better positioning of Serbia on the global IT map. "
Plans for the future are a further expansion of expert teams and development centers in Western European countries, entry into new markets, and new acquisitions in the country and the region. "With the further expansion of expertise, we continue our mission to create an environment that encourages a progressive and innovative approach to digital challenges," concludes Filip.
During the previous years, more than 200 companies with 222 candidates participated in this program in the Republic of Serbia, and it’s a great pleasure to be chosen in the narrowest circle of visionaries with recognized achievements.
The winners are chosen by an independent expert jury and selection is based on success factors such as entrepreneurial spirit, financial indicators, strategic direction, regional or international market presence, innovation, and personal integrity.
Great honor and motivation for the whole Quantox team!
As the world enters deeper into the digital era, it becomes clear that software development and the software industry, in general, will become essential. As a result, the software industry has already become the fastest-growing industry globally, and it continues to grow even more every day.
This phenomenon becomes easy to understand when we look at all the areas of our lives powered by software. Everything is powered by, controlled, or maintained by some type of software, from our homes, appliances, and bank accounts to medical equipment and even state security.
Creating software is not an easy task, and there's no one more important in the software development process than those who will create the software- software engineers and programmers. Thanks to their skill and meticulous work, we can have a myriad of software designed to meet our every need as human beings and society.
As such, software is essential for companies that want to be at the top of the market and stay there. The biggest benefits of having sustainable and secure software within an organization are increasing work efficiency and improving micromanagement.
However, software development is anything but arbitrary — the software development process is an incredibly detailed process that includes analysis, software development cost estimate, design, and development even before programmers begin writing the code. When backed up by the best development tools, programmers will have a much easier time creating, maintaining, debugging, and editing applications, programs, and frameworks. This is why finding the right software development partner that will handle all stages of the software development process is the most important thing for all companies.
What is a software development tool?
Software development tools can also be called software programming tools because they are computer programs designed to make programming easier. They are used by software developers and programmers to write the code, but also to maintain and edit the code if needed. Software development tools can also be used for the support and debugging of other programs or applications. So in a nutshell, software development tools are software that makes software development easier and in some cases, possible.
There are thousands of great software development tools today and choosing the right one can be stressful and daunting. However, the reason why there are so many software development tools is that each one corresponds to a different need or preference. So, while having a choice can be confusing, it’s much better than having no choice or a limited one. And when it comes to choosing the right development trend, including a programming tool, finding the one that will suit all requirements can be considered as a jackpot.
Choosing the right one will depend on the project’s requirements, mainly on the framework and methodologies established in the early software development stage. Apart from that, there are also a few factors to consider before picking those development tools that will be the backbone of the project. In other words, the most important thing you need to know about software development is that developing tools are just too vital for software development to be overlooked.
Factors to consider while selecting a software development tool
The software tool is only as good as its software development process. Before a programmer starts writing the code, every detail such as specifications, framework, programming language, design, and goal must be determined. Likewise, having these in place will also help when choosing a perfect software development tool. The following factors will help you choose the best developer tools.
Must Be Applicable to the environment
You wouldn't teach a fish to fly, so why would you use a Windows Desktop application for web deployment? Again, it's imperative that the software development tool is relevant to the given project's environment and applies to it perfectly.
Company Standards
Software development tools can also be used within a company to standardize. With a development tool, the company can move developers quickly between projects and creates one standard across all projects.
Is the Tool Useful?
The collection of software development tools in the project must be, in fact, applicable to the project from the first software development phase to the completion of the project.
Prior Experience With the Tool
A development team's experience with development tools should be taken into consideration. If the team is familiar with a software tool and the same tool could be useful to the project, it's a classic case of a win-win situation with a promise of a better workflow throughout the project.
Learning Curve
All developing tools have a learning curve, and some are easier to integrate into a team, while some are more challenging to add. Things like how much effort and time is needed to use the development tool should play a significant part in the decision-making process.

Is your business regularly dealing with day-to-day fires? You know that in-house staff is very busy and you have problems finding and retaining new people? The answer to overwhelming IT issues that you are experiencing can be outsourcing. Whether you are a small business or a big enterprise, there are some parts of your IT department that can be handed to a third party to manage and organize. Simply put, it is hard to do internal 24/7 monitoring and management of an entire, often cumbersome, IT infrastructure. Many of the issues that can happen incur additional costs and potential business disturbances. Further failures, hardware, and software disasters, operation disorganization can be prevented. Additional costs can be prevented. Use some help. Provide support to your IT people, too.
What do you get from Outsourcing?
If you do research about outsourcing, you will find dozens of reasons why outsourcing is profitable and how it can impact your business. Let us highlight some of the most important that tells exactly what you get:
Money
Additional in-house expertise that you need can be a really expensive investment. New recruitment, employee onboarding, more payrolls - all of this usually demands you to first enlarge your HR team, before you even start recruiting the experts you need. As you may already be very well aware, all of this costs money. And a lot of it. Not only are you paying full employee packages for the IT experts that you need, but you are also paying the same for recruiters and other staff you might need to onboard all those new people. Of course, we must not forget the fact that this will take a lot of time, further costing you money as problems are not being handled, upgrades are not being installed, and more.By providing you with just the right experts at just the right time (usually yesterday), outsourcing can save you enormous amounts of money.
Resources
No more waste. No more resource mismanagement that doesn’t yield the wanted results and productivity. By choosing an outsourcing business model, you will have access to the widest range of resources that you don’t have in-house or you cannot afford to bring in-house. A larger resource platform also means you get to make smart moves and balance between proper task processing and quality customer service. An outsourcing partner will help you reach that balance and guide you on how to use these resources.
Time
Free your schedule of simple tasks and use your energy to develop ideas and potential new projects that can generate more income. Outsourcing gives you more time to focus on tasks that require your dedication. Let someone with more experience or someone more knowledgeable handle the work that distracts you. On the other hand, by involving a third party in your project, you are giving your business much-needed time and also a chance to reach sustainable, effective growth.
Storage
Your business needs don’t match your storage capacity? A simple solution is to outsource your data storage. Why? New assets are not necessary. On the other hand, the usage of modern technologies is possible without having to hire new IT staff. The highest costs in internal data storage are in administration and backup. If you handle this to an outsourcer, you will experience an overall cost drop. Do not worry about risk mitigation, because your outsourcing partner has automatically saved your data offsite and has a fully integrated system for data restoration within the business requirements.
Bussines Focus
Closely tied with time management, business focus is something that you can lose with an overwhelmed IT department and unsatisfied employees. With all issues you have to deal with, you simply don’t have time to focus on core things, business goals, and growth. An outsourcing partner can be a valuable, long-term partner. A partner that will provide you time that, currently, you don’t have. You need a professional outsourcing management strategy that can save you from internal and external fires and potential damage to your business’ very foundations.
How to get the ‘outsourcing benefits’ full potential?
Let be honest, outsourcing projects can fail. But, failure can be prevented. Success depends on both sides, and, in most cases,proper communication is the right recipe.
Steps for strong Outsourcing partnership
If you want to build a strong relationship with an outsourcing partner, you need to work on:
Clear requests
Techspeak and bizspeak are something that both sides need to avoid. Do not use terminology that the other party doesn’t understand. Speak as clearly and succinctly as you can, provide clear requests because that will lead to a product that you can use. There is no textbook that you can follow to 100% guarantee successful communication. Maintaining outsourcing relationships can be challenging andit relies on transparency, clear goals, and demands, delivered in a timely manner. When you choose your outsourcing partner, always pay attention to their strategy of delivering unique value outcomes. The Quantox approach also consists of the best practices for communication and well-established plans for request delivery.
Detailed project
For a proper outsourcing strategy, details are a must. Details will help you present your vision and goals in the most effective way, reducing the chances of miscommunication, mistakes, and subsequent corrections. Invest time and effort in explaining your project, what you want to get out of it, and what you want your customers to get. You have a totally new range of resources in front of you, but only a detailed project can fully use them.
Transparent communication
Achieving the right relationship is possible only with good communication. Do not hide crucial information, good or bad. Avoid long delays in actionable feedback, keep in touch with your partner and inform them regularly of the current status. Let them know how you feel and what your expectations are. Be transparent and expect transparency from the other side.
Approach to internal resources
Network discovery is a part of setting up a quality outsourcing partner process. It requires a careful approach to your internal resources. Engineers and the sales team will need information about servers, firewalls, antivirus software, and other technical parts that are used.

written by MLADEN PAIĆ
Object Calisthenics are basically programming exercises, formalized as a set of 9 rules.
By trying to follow these rules as much as possible, you will naturally change how you write code. Of course, it doesn’t mean you have to strictly follow all these rules, all the time.
Here are the 9 rules for writing a better code:
- Only One Level Of Indentation Per Method
- Don’t Use The ELSE Keyword
- Wrap All Primitives And Strings
- First Class Collections
- One Dot Per Line
- Don’t Abbreviate
- Keep All Entities Small
- No Classes With More Than Two Instance Variables
- No Getters/Setters/Properties
#1: Only One Level of Indentation per Method
Having more than one indentation level is often considered bad for readability and maintainability, it's not easy to understand the code without executing step by step in your head, especially if there is a loop in another loop, or if there are multiple conditions nested.
By following this rule, code will be split into separate methods. The number of lines will not be reduced, but the readability will be improved significantly.
#2: Don't Use The ELSE Keyword
If else cases can get hard to read, and they don't really bring any value to the code.
An easy way to remove the else keyword is to implement an early return solution.
#3: Wrap All Primitives And Strings
To avoid Primitive Obsession, all the primitives should be encapsulated within objects. If the variable of your primitive type has a behavior, you MUST encapsulate it.
Objects like Money, or Hour for instance.
#4: First-Class Collections
The collection class should not contain any other member variables. If you have a collection of elements and you want to manipulate them, you should create a dedicated class.
Each collection gets wrapped in its own class, and all the behaviors for filtering applying rules are encapsulated inside of it.
#5: One Dot Per Line
Method calls should not be chained (this does not apply to Fluent Interfaces and Method Chaining Pattern, any other class should respect this rule). It's directly related to respecting the Law of Demeter. Objects should talk only to closest friends.
#6: Don't Abbreviate
If you keep writing the same name over and over again, that will probably lead to code duplication.
If the class/method name is too long, it probably means that it has more than one responsibility, violating SRP. Naming is a big thing and can improve your code a lot. Abbreviations can lead to confusion because not everybody will understand what abbreviation means, so the trade-off is not worth it.
#7: Keep All Entities Small
“No class over 50 lines and no package over 10 files.”
The idea behind this rule is that long files are harder to read, harder to understand, and harder to maintain.
This is obviously very hard to apply (not even applicable to some languages like PHP, but it can be adapted), but IMO classes/methods should be somewhat short and this rule should be applied to some concern, but respecting these exact numbers (50 lines, 10 lines) is not crucial. As long as your classes are not more than 100-200 lines (especially in languages like PHP), it's not that big of a deal.
#8: No Classes With More Than Two Instance Variables
This rule relies on RULE 3 (Wrap All Primitive and Strings), and its benefits are high cohesion, and better encapsulation.
The main idea is to distinguish two kinds of classes, those that maintain the state of a single instance variable, and those that coordinate two separate variables. Two is an arbitrary choice that forces you to decouple your classes a lot.
IMO this doesn't have to be exactly two instance variables but should be kept to a low number and it can be applied like in the following example:
#9: No Getters/Setters/Properties
As long as you don't use the result of the accessor to make the decision outside of the object it should be okay. Any decisions made upon the state of the object should be done inside of the object itself. That's why getters and setters are bad, they violate Open/Closed Principle directly.
In the end, some rules are very easy to follow and they will improve your coding a lot, other ones are not the easiest ones to pull off. It's up to you to decide when and which one you want to implement and practice them in your spare time.
One Rule For Better IT Solutions- Quantox!
Quantox programmers and developers are a team and as such they've adopted coding practices which makes the code understandable for every team member. By having a clean code we can all participate in creating a better, stronger and safer applications for our clients. Here, a good organisation is the key, and we start at how we write your code. Let's Talk!
Being an entrepreneur and starting a business story of your own, always carries a lot of courage but also a lot of risks. You work every day, try your best to prove yourself, and be recognizable on the market.
When you achieve a certain success and that success, at some point, leads you to some major and crucial changes. Anyone who has participated in a process of building a brand knows how long-lasting and well-thought-out it is. That is why any major change in it leads to serious decision weighing. Reason - you’re getting into rebranding. There are many questions. How to name the company? Is it better to give some symbolic, hidden meaning? Will the market understand our new message? Time will tell if you made the right decision.
The time showed us that, after many consultations and suggestions of the whole team, we did the right thing by choosing the path called Quantox Technology. Word Quantox as itself has no specific meaning. For us, on the other hand, it means a lot. It is a symbol of an idea created 15 years ago and which has been successfully implemented and continued to grow. A word that has weight today, that carries one brand and that is recognizable to the wider IT community.
For us, Quantox means responsibility. Responsibility for each accepted project, no matter how challenging. From the idea, through strategy to the presentation of the finished product and its future maintenance. Responsibility for meeting deadlines, respecting everyone’s time and obligations. Responsibility for the normal functioning of all our 10 offices, especially during a pandemic.
Quantox represents stability. We are thinking of 300 families. Kovid, various changes in the law, did not shake us. There was no withdrawal or radical moves. On the contrary. We kept the team, we kept the job. We also opened the jubilee 10th office. We came out as winners and that is the success of the company itself and all of us who are part of it.
Quantox is a synonym of progress for young people. We are proud of our professional development program. Great attention is paid to creating the whole process of practice, choosing the right mentor for each individual candidate, and also measuring the final results. The success of interns and their further employment is really on a high level. This program, among other things, helped us to enrich our team with extremely high-quality people.
Quantox is a domestic brand. It originated in Serbia. We live, grow and prosper in Serbia. Yes, we have stepped into new markets, but we are pleased to introduce all our international colleagues to Serbian customs. Our people selflessly and openly share their knowledge and experience.
That is why there are no boundaries for us. We are one team, we are a Serbian brand and wherever we do business, everyone knows where we come from.
Besides programming, there is an opportunity for developers to join internship programs as mentors. It is a special challenge, but also a pleasure when you successfully transfer the acquired knowledge to younger colleagues. A responsible but also demanding approach is necessary, so here is some good advice that you can apply during the program.
Get to know your mentee When you take on the role of mentor, one of the important tasks is to get to know the person you are mentoring. This will help you to understand the obstacles that the mentee encounters and thus finding an adequate solution will be easier. From my personal experience, during the internship program, really positive reactions occur when, as a mentor, you show interest in the mentee's hobbies and if your work plan is in the line with his interests, the results are even better. When a candidate works according to such a plan, he is additionally motivated, goes a step further, and will, very likely, dare to step out of the comfort zone.
Communication is the keyMentoring brings responsibility. You need to be there for candidates. Of course, we are not talking about the obligation to answer the questions immediately, especially when other projects are active, but you should not go to the other side and not answer for hours. It is necessary to harmonize communication with the mentee, to respond to all doubts in an adequate time, and encourage candidates to discuss and express their opinions and potential task solutions. Very often candidates are reluctant to ask questions because they feel they are stealing your time and don’t want to bother, they think those questions are too basic. In that case, you have to step up, encourage them and make it perfectly clear that you are there for them. This prevents the creation of any potential communication barriers. You have to be able to listen, let the candidate express his idea, and give your own if you have one. These steps show that you are interested in your interns, in their work and thus make a significant contribution to strengthening their self-confidence.
Plan and goals All these steps that I am talking about are some of the ways of motivation and encouragement. However, you have to keep in mind the main reason for mentoring - interns came to learn and progress, and therefore it is necessary to set work goals and a plan according to which those goals will be achieved. It is a good idea to start with smaller tasks, which can be quickly realized. In that way, the mentee has the impression that he is progressing and there will be fewer chances for them to be demotivated and give up. It is necessary to go gradually, in smaller steps, which will eventually lead to the realization of more serious goals and challenges. Don’t make plans that take 3 or 4 months to complete, because these are people who are often without any previous work experience and who can really drop down if big tasks are put in front of them. One of the suggestions could be to give a candidate a chance to break one larger task into smaller ones, for him to get used to such a working system. This can be followed by some of your personal examples where you got to the solution by dissolving a big goal into several smaller ones and working on them step by step. So, at the beginning of the internship program, stick to tasks that can be solved in a couple of hours, and later you can set bigger challenges.
Checkup It is recommended to take your time for monitoring the mentee’s work and progress. To be more specific - use spontaneous conversations with your candidate and find out how far he has gone and whether he needs any help. Also, an official meeting once a week where you will together check all tasks and problems from past days will benefit both sides. Keep a record of your conversations, notes on problems encountered and solutions agreed. These records will help you later to see if the mentee has followed your recommendations or he found other solutions.
Constructive feedbackWhen you are a mentor, your opinion of someone’s work has a lot of significance. That is why it must be honest, and provided promptly. This means that you have to react immediately if you notice any mistake. Giving feedback can sometimes be uncomfortable, but it is necessary if you want a candidate to progress. If your opinion has a negative connotation, make a plan on how you will say it as well as mandatory steps on how to resolve the problem and prevent further possible mistakes in the future. By doing so, you make it known that you are aware that a problem exists and that you want to work together to solve it. If you show some examples of solving mistakes and misjudgments, you have also contributed to the candidate not giving up. Of course, there is more than just negative feedback. Highlight, praise a good idea, solution, or significant effort to achieve the goal. What is by no means allowed - not providing an opinion and not giving any feedback to the candidate.
Mentor student Mentoring can be challenging, sometimes it can take you more time than you planned and require a lot of patience. However, it awards you significant progress. A good mentor never stops being a student. Don’t be surprised if, at the end of the internship program, it comes out that you are the one who learned a lot, maybe more than the candidate themselves.

For many years, we have been interested in the development potential of local communities that lack the opportunity for growth. We want to create those opportunities by providing support for the local Startup scene in Ćuprija. Today, fortunately, we can witness numerous examples of fantastic Startup stories that have been realised and set off on the path of further success. However, the reality is a little bit different. Many people have great business ideas but not enough investment to go a step further in development and ‘launch’ their product or service. Many questions arise here - how to start, what are the necessary steps?Quantox Technology has decided to help implement these steps. Providing all the necessary technical support, we want to give that much needed `push` for a maximum of 10 Startups registered in Ćuprija. With an investment of up to 50.000 euros, which will be reflected in technical support and consulting, we want to help business stories that arise far from large IT centers.All Startups registered on the territory of Ćuprija will have the opportunity to apply and Quantox will, as a technical partner, support the growth and development of the local community.All information, as well as application forms, you can get via mail startup@quantox.com Let’s start up together!

Wouldn’t it be great if all of the code we work with was written in a way that it’s completely clear what it does? And that we could easily make changes without breaking it? Sounds good, but it’s not that easy to do so. To get to that level we need to change our mindset a bit.
React apps grow very fast. The project gets more and more components, the codebase grows, and just when you think you are done with a component and forget about it, there are change requirements for it. You analyse the code of that component, try to understand what the author had in mind, even if the author is you, and you stumble upon a condition that you have no idea why the author put it there. You start trying to understand why that condition is there and which use-case can trigger that path and that takes some time. Could all of that be escaped? Yes, at least partially. As a React developer, with or without experience we encounter these situations on a daily basis. What can we do to improve code quality and make our components reusable and maintainable?
Improve Naming
You can improve naming by analyzing how the libraries you use named and designed the API you are consuming. Sometimes we tend to use names that are too descriptive, and you (most likely) won’t see such cases in the libraries you use. When naming functions or variables I ask myself these questions:
- What would the most intuitive (instead of the most descriptive) name for this be?
- Is there a standard? If everyone names the variable ‘i’, if I name it ‘x’ it might be confusing
- Is it clear what it represents?
- How much information can I get out of the context that my variable is in? If it’s clear that the variable is related to the context it’s in, there is no need to repeat that information in the variable name. (User.id instead of User.userId)
- Keeping names simple and intuitive makes the code more readable. Easy to read code is easier to understand and thus easier to maintain.
Examples: - filterWhenTimeUpdates() → filter()
When a time update is an event that we will respond to by calling the filter function. In code it could be something like this: - useEffect(filter, [time]); Which makes it clear that we will trigger the filter whenever the time is updated
- shouldFetchNewData → shouldFetch
You most likely won't have a case where you would fetch old data - hourOfDay → hour
We would automatically put an hour in the context of the day
allComments → comments - It is used with the same meaning in mind as just comments. Usually, when the arrays are filtered, we don't mutate the array.
useLayout({ useLayout({
columns, columns,
rows, → rows,
spacing spacing
}); }, [columns, spacing]);
We can borrow the idea from built-in React hooks and design our hooks in the same way. We can pass a list of dependencies to our custom hook as a separate parameter. This way, in one component we can have this hook triggered onMount only, while in the other component it can be triggered whenever column or rows data changes. Since we are passing the list of dependencies as a separate parameter the same way that built-in hooks do, it will be intuitive to React developers what our intention was.
Don’t Put (a lot of) Logic Inside of the JSX
The Component will be easier to maintain if the JSX part or the Presentational part of the component contains as little logic as possible. If we had the need to refactor or modify the component for some reason, we could do it a lot faster if most of the logic comes from non-JSX parts of the app.
Reuse Selector Pattern Idea
If you have worked with Redux you’ve probably heard of the Selector pattern. This pattern lowers the amount of effort we have to put in when the data structure changes. A selector is a simple function that receives some data and returns only a (selected) piece of that data.
Data structures tend to change in the early days of development. When that happens, if we are using the selector instead of accessing the data directly in our components, we only have to make a single change. That change would be inside of the selector. If we didn’t use the selector we would have to make changes at each place the data was directly accessed.
What if we were to do something similar everywhere in our components?
If we don’t depend on the data structure or the source where that data came from, every change that occurs will be easy to implement. The goal is having to make changes in a single place only.
How can we achieve this?
We could write selectors and/or use object and array destructing. Note that this takes up more memory, but the code becomes easier to maintain.
Comment Your Code
You probably read that comments are bad and that code should be self-documenting. My opinion is that code can’t say everything. I have been in so many situations where I had no idea WHY the programmer wrote some piece of code. Not to be confused with WHAT the code does because that we can read and understand. What we cannot know is which use-cases the developer had in mind when the code was written. Maybe we will break something if we modify that code. There could be some business rules that cannot be explained with code or at least the person who wrote the code didn’t manage to do so. If the author of the code had left comments on why that piece of code is there, it would have saved our time. The problem with comments is that they usually aren’t maintained. People modify the code and not the comment. So the comment ends up having false statements. Thus, maintaining comments would be another tip. A stale comment could be worse than no comment if it misleads you.
Extract
When the component has more than a couple of hundred lines of code it gets harder to read (I prefer to keep it under 300 lines of code). More often than it happens in smaller components, the order of defining things gets easily messed up. It’s easier to maintain logical units when the component is fairly small. From my experience the bigger the component gets, the messier the code will become.
How can you ensure that your components stay small? By extracting! You can extract utility functions, custom hooks, new components, constants, type declarations and/or mock data to separate files.
Organize
Establish rules when it comes to organizing code. Make sure each directory and each file are organized the same way. Strive for consistency. Organized and consistent code will boost your performance because you won’t have to scroll through the whole file to find something, you will know exactly where to look first.
We can always apply these tips inside our React components and make them easier to maintain and reuse.

What is Grid?
Grid is a very useful CSS tool. It is a two-dimensional system for website layout organisation and it helps a lot to present and place elements on it. It can be compared to flexbox which is a one-dimensional system. The one-dimensional layout has elements in one row or column, and in a two-dimensional system elements have to be arranged in various columns or rows. Otherwise, both systems are better than the old ways of arranging layouts. The old way involved the use of float and in-line block options, within which the appearance of a website was often very uncertain. By using the Grid tool, you can solve layout problems and develop your website more efficiently.
When Do We Use It?
In most cases, Grid is combined with a flexbox tool. This combination can improve the whole layout organisation through the website development process.
Example
- In the picture below we have one container with container class and child elements (elements contained in a container) called item.
- We need to adjust the CSS by setting display: grid
- After container making, the next step would be to put sizes for columns and rows by using grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows options. Please note that here the sizes in pixels are given arbitrarily, while in a specific code you have to enter the exact pixel size for each row and column so that the layout turns out as you imagined.
- Setup of child elements by using grid-column and grid-row would look like this:
This completes the initial creation of the container with the grid elements and you get a nicely planned layout of the site. As with flexbox, the way grid elements are arranged is not crucial because CSS itself allows their reallocation. This is why creating a mobile layout application is much easier, because, through just a few lines of code in CSS, a grid layout made for a desktop can be adapted to a mobile one.
When Can it Be Difficult to Use Grid?
Problems can occur if older versions of browsers that don’t support Grid are used. Fortunately, there is a Can I use website so that can be easily checked. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced programmer, you should carefully study the documentation before using this tool to avoid making any room for possible errors.

As the title itself says, Ivan is a man with many talents. Besides coding, his passion is also fishing. He is a former amateur actor but also a painter, so when inspiration knocks on the door, it often means that his family will soon enjoy one more beautiful canvas.For the past 5 years, he has been part of our team in Čačak. In his opinion, colleagues would probably characterize him as a strenuous man, but just so you know - when we asked our designer to do graphics for Ivan’s interview, her instant reaction was - Đorđević? The best team lead ever :)Thank you for your commitment. We congratulate you and can not wait to spend many more years working with you.
- Do you remember your first day at work?
Absolutely. It was much more relaxed compared to previous jobs.
- Who or what influenced you the most to become a programmer?
A friend from college who I tried to overcome, but without success :)
- What is that people mostly do not know about you?
I suppose a lot of things, especially because I am an introverted person.
- What would you never give up?
Coffee.
- Which of your professional qualities you consider to be most valuable?
Stubbornness always helps me to push till the end and not to give up even when it seems that I will not make it.
- How would your colleagues describe you?
Probably as a ‘strenuous’ or ‘hard’ man.
- How do you start your day at work?
Like most of us - with a cup of coffee.
- We know that you have a lot of talents. Tell us about the hidden ones :)
Acting and writing were things that I did a long time ago, and they are part of the past. Nowadays, when I’m not in the best mood, painting is sometimes a choice. When partying with friends is on the menu, me singing on the mike is definitely part of the night (even though I’m not a good singer at all, but others think that is not true :))
- The weekend is your time for?
Family, nature, fishing, a good movie.
- If you were not a programmer, you would be?
Probably doing some work related to cybersecurity or working in a department of high-tech crime :)
Initial recruitment steps in a fast-growing IT industry can be really challenging. The range of technologies and activities that developers use is really wide, and every day we have additional frameworks or language that show up and promise to put PHP out of use and charm developers, at least temporarily. Our job, as IT recruiters, is to recognize, approach and show interest in a certain profile of the candidate (often in a short time). It is important that we know what the company needs in the first place and that we base our search on that. What makes this process a lot easier is a large number of widely available tools. This time our focus will be on the LinkedIn Premium feature of Smart Search.
Why Premium profile?
Although it increases the initial cost of the recruitment process, it is really helpful to overcome many challenges that this process has. Advanced search and suggestions supported by artificial intelligence are very useful. There is a possibility for the direct contact of candidates without the need for connection and if a larger team uses paid services there is a possibility of organizing and tracking candidates in one place. This way, paid services to facilitate coordination and efficiency.
Advanced search advantages
As with regular search, we use Boolean syntax during the advanced search because it makes it easier to search and target specific profiles. Quotation marks, parentheses, NOT, AND, and OR operators still have significant application.
For example, we will start with the maximum qualifications for the position itself, and use the NOT operator for systematic filtering and finally finish with the minimum qualification. Eg: A,B,C - desired qualification D,E - must have the qualification and finally F - implicitly desired qualification.
Beside Boolean, what else can be used?
Filters are something that a regular LinkedIn account doesn’t allow, at least not to the extent that is available within a Recruiter account. Filters are very useful in narrowing the criteria because we can target specific experience, skills, companies, schools/institutions, years of experience….
Example
We received a request for a new React position. It is stated that knowledge of JavaScript, React, Redux and MaterialUI is mandatory. It is desirable that the candidate knows and understands the Java language (because the Backend project was written in Java), and we want to target candidates from the Serbian market. Since the position is directed towards the medior level, we don’t want to go too much wide in our search, but to determine the years of experience in the industry. In that case, our filters will look something like this:
Advantages of LinkedIn Premium
LinkedIn Premium enables:
- Better and more relevant search results
- Creating a database of candidates for certain positions
- InMail contacts
- No limits for the searched number of profiles
When not to use a Premium profile?
If it is available to you, there is no reason why not to use its filters and all other advantages. However, it is a totally independent question whether the scope and specificity of the position you aim to fill justify investing in Premium features.These are just examples of the possibilities offered by Boolean and Premium filters. We encourage you to experiment, add, subtract and modify search parameters. The result will be closer to what you need if you can define what you are looking for. Happy hunting! Igor S & Igor S
At the beginning of this year, we set out a new business venture. After expanding to the foreign market, we are opening another office, the jubilee tenth in a row.We have been advocates of IT decentralization for many years. By opening another office in Serbia, in Ćuprija, we prove that we adhere to our ideology and we continue the trend of developing the potential of young people in local communities.
Why Ćuprija? The reason is simple. Many years ago, an idea was born right there - an idea that would be realized a few years later and become Quantox Technology.With 15 years of experience and a team of over 300 employees, the developers from Ćuprija will have full support in their work and further progress.In the last few years, we have had cooperation with the Gymnasium in Ćuprija.
We reward the best students with scholarships, and we also contributed to the development of the IT department in that school.Students' interest in the new program is great, which is reflected in the growing number of those who attend the new course. That is why we decided to give knowledge as a gift to Ćurpija- we will organize an internship program so that all those who sailed into IT waters have the opportunity to upgrade, expand and learn everything they will need for independent work tomorrow. Our experts from all offices in Serbia will be in charge of implementing the practice in the best possible way.
We invite you to join us. Take the opportunity to improve your skills by working on huge and challenging projects.
As part of the Quantox team, you will also be able to take advantage of the benefits we have provided. Our offices are equipped with special care so that the work runs smoothly and we have many years of experience in mentoring.Do you want to do the job you love in your city, among friends and family? Information about open positions in our company you can find HERE!
We are waiting for you. Join us!
