When creating a website for a company, many people go with out of the box solutions that are made by large entities like Wordpress or Wix. While these systems are excellent because they allow just about anyone to create their own website with minimal knowledge of coding, if you’re a company of a certain caliber, or want to have full control over your website, you really should have your own custom CMS, which is another word for back end of the site.This way you have full ownership of the back end, and whether or not things are working isn’t dependent on a company feeding you updates and comparable apps that function well only some of the time. Our PHP programmers can make this a reality for you. We’ve got a great team of people who are experts in this field, who can easily make pretty much anything you want on your website using PHP.

We can make you anything you want and do a custom job for you and your website. There’s a lot of possibilities, so the only limit is your imagination and what you have been envisioning for your site.

The Old Mountain, the jewel of the South-eastern Serbia is such a fantastic place and as soon as we arrived, we've encountered so many great things.The hotel we were staying at was off the charts and we were all stunned by the variety of things that were offered to us by the hotel itself and the pleasant stuff!

That's why our gatherings are special and this one was probably the best we have ever had! Of course, there are much more to come and we are all looking forward to the new places and new faces in our team! Take a look at the photos below and you will maybe have a glance of the relationships we have here! Enjoy, just like we did there!
When you hire a web developer to improve your website, you want to know that the work they have done is helping your business out, right? Fortunately, it’s very easy to check that with free tools like Google Analytics. This is very easy to use, and very handy also. You simply have to have your developer input a specific code to the site, and then everything will be tracked by Google! This gives you a ton of data to measure and a lot of information. However, for those who aren’t familiar with some of the terminology, it can be a little overwhelming, so here are some important portions to track.
- Sessions
This is the thing that most people look at right on the front of the analytics site. This tells you how many people visited your website, and it shows it over a period of time so you can easily see any dips and bumps. When you track it, you will know if your traffic went up according to any particular marketing push, so it really does give you a nice idea of what works and what doesn’t work. Below this graph will be some other metrics relating to sessions, one of which is the percentage of new sessions. This will tell you how many new visitors your site had - ie, ones who hadn’t visited it recently.
- Bounce Rate
The bounce rate is very important in analytics because some industry experts speculate that sites with high bounce rates get lower consideration in search engine standings. The bounce rate represents people who visited your site, but it wasn’t what they were looking for, so they left pretty quickly. If you have a high bounce rate, there’s a chance that your site is ranking highly for something that doesn’t make too much sense, or something about your site doesn’t draw people in, so it’s time to contact us to see what you can do about it!
- Engagement
Related to bounce rate is the engagement section. This doesn’t have anything to do with holy matrimony, but it does tell you how long people have spent looking at your site. Some SEO experts theorize that higher times on site result in better search engine rankings, so this is a great metric to pay attention to.
- Site Content
This is always an exciting section to look at because it tells you which pages on your site are the most popular. Using this section you can really tell what types of pages are drawing people in and which are not doing so hot. It’s always exhilarating to find out what people really react to and the evidence is undeniable!
Choose Quantox To Build A Good Technical Foundation For Your Content!

Website!
That's the word you hear every single day, no matter what is your profession and what are you currently doing, right? So, let's say a few words about this...
The Difference Between Web Design and Web Development
When thinking of creating or updating a website, you need both web design and web development. However, unless you’re working in the field, you may get these two confused. It’s really easy for non-professionals to make this mistake because of these two things really sound lot a like, and heck, they both even have the word “web” in it and start with the same letters, so the chance for a mistake is really big!However, even though web design and web development are related, they’re not the same thing, though one is required for the other. Stay with us and learn the difference and the real meaning of these two very important concepts.
What is Web Design?
When we talk about web design, we are only talking about the visual aspect of a website. When a web designer works on their project, they use programs like Photoshop or other tools which allow them to create skins and templates for a website. They work hard to ensure that everything looks perfect, and they may also create logos and other graphics for a site’s online presence. When they are done, they often hand off their designs to a developer to implement on the site.
What is Web Development?
Web development, on the other hand, is using different programming languages to actually implement many different things on a site - from the design to widgets and interactive features that show up on the website. On a very basic level, they can create a site, but more advanced developers can also create a custom content management system for a site, or even develop plugins and apps for existing out of the box content management systems like Joomla or Wordpress. Development is essential because it is used to implement the design. Of course, a developer can make up their own website design, but it is often helpful to have both because you’ll get someone with an artistic eye working on your site, as well as a coding whiz to implement it.
Quantox- A full-service Agency for Both!
Both web design and web development are a very important parts building your web solution. You need design because you want your site to look amazing, and you need development because you want everything to work smoothly. Luckily for you, Quantox is a full-service agency and we can help you with both. We have a huge team of professionals who are experts in their fields, who will work hard to make sure that your web presence is great in all different aspects. Let's Talk!
The year is 2017, and you still don’t have a website for your small business?!
It probably even sounds a little bit outrageous to you. Small business owners come up with many excuses to avoid building a website, but we’ll tell you the truth: all those excuses are completely bunk. There’s a tough truth to learn and it is that there is absolutely no excuse to not have a website! The good news is, it’s never too late to start, and we’re here to help you along the way.
Some people use the excuse that they simply don’t need a website. However, that’s just not true. Almost everyone uses the internet and the people who don’t are complete weirdos. When was the last time you did anything without first consulting the internet from ordering food, researching a product to buy or looking up the address of a physical place you wanted to go? By not having a website you are missing out on a lot of opportunities, and you are also missing out on making things more convenient for your customers and clients!Other people say that they have enough customers. This is great for you, but wouldn’t you like to make it even easier for your customers to get information about your products and give you money? With a website you can provide online payment portals, and have a website will also help with customer retention so you will continue to have enough customers.A very common excuse for business owners is to say that they use social media instead of having a website. This is a fine idea because social media is very important to any marketing mix, but it’s hard to capture your followers as customers without a website. Especially in the millennial generation, users judge company’s without websites harshly because they know how easy it is to create one, and how convenient it is to use one to get information.
Still, others say they don’t have time to maintain a website. Luckily for you, that’s where we come in! We are a full-service web development agency and we can help you with everything from making a website to maintaining it on a day to day level. Whether you just need someone to make the website or run it, we’re here for you. Contact us today to see how you can get started!
When I came to the office this morning, I had one really pleasant surprise waiting for me on my desk. And, the most of you would probably ask what kind of surprise an employee can get on Wednesday, right? Well, let me tell you a short story about it...As you already know and as you have already experienced on your own skin (if you have some kind of full-time job), we live in a very fast and advanced age. Some of you may not see it that way, but just imagine how things were done just a 20 or 30 years ago and how they are done now and you will see that this age is far more advanced than all the others ages in the history of mankind combined! Our age, our (I can freely say post-modern and technological) age is something we can't fight against. We have to dance by the notes of the age and these notes are crystal clear: A lot of work in order to achieve success and earn as much money as you can and a not so much free time!
OK, we, as a generation, have accepted this concept and we are going shoulder by shoulder with our age. But, at some point of your life, you simply have to ask yourself is this enough? Success and money, expensive cars, exclusive restaurants and similar stuff... Is that enough for you to be happy on a long term basis? Sometimes, the only thing we need is another person's company, a warm word, and a pleasant hug! Money can't buy these things, but we can not live without the money, right... So, what is the best option for us? What can we do to have both free time for love and the friends and success in the business?Maybe answer to this question lies in the words of the famous Chinese sage, Confucius: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life". The job is one of the most important things nowadays and if you choose it wisely, it's like you've won the lottery! That's exactly what we in the Quantox Technology can say about our job! This is not only our job, this is a way of life and that's why my colleagues and I come to the office with a big smile on our faces! So, I can finally talk about this great surprise I found on my desk.
It's Wednesday (I mean, Wednesday, the most unimportant day of the week), I come in the office and I find beautiful and delicious donuts on my desk! Early in the morning! To make my coffee better! How cool is that? This small thing, this little sign of appreciation and respect for employees is what makes our company so great! That's why we all have it all here: Sucess in the business, friends and warm words! We are more a family than a company and that makes us fight our age with ease!
Sometimes, I think we can even win this fight...
Quantox is a full-service web technology firm that can make just about anything you need. One thing that some businesses tend to neglect in their creative process is coming up with a mobile app or even simply a mobile version of their website.They focus a lot of making their website really awesome but hardly give a passing thought to those small devices that people use every day. More and more people access the web solely from their smartphones, making them even more relevant. Plus, in their more recent updates, Google and other search engines have announced that they have started to give higher priority to sites that have their mobile game in order. That means that fixing your site’s mobile presence can even help your search engine standings.
That is something that we here at Quantox can help you with. We have available and experienced developers who can make iPhone and Android apps, and those who are also familiar with how to make a website look A+ on a mobile device or tablet. This will allow your users to browse your site or use your product while they are on the go just about anywhere, which is becoming more essential to running a functional business these days. Pretty much anything and everything can be turned into an app, simply to allow users to have better and easier access to your products, whether you’ve got an online service or a retail product that people can buy online.
Don’t neglect your company’s mobile presence and remember to get some mobile work done to improve your business’ online presence.In this day and age, it is something that really needs to get done and some would even say that if you don’t have at the very least a mobile website going, this may be an important priority for improvement, even before updating or upgrading a normal website. Of course, our consultants can help you find the exact right services that you need and can advise you on what would be best for your company.
THINK ABOUT PROCESSES. THINK ABOUT THE NEXT IN THE PROCESS.
The process is one of the most mysterious terms and notions nowadays. Although it is now so new but exists for a long time, it has never been demystified, so for most people, it sounds so scary.Nevertheless, it is very important everybody to understand what the process is, how it functionates, as well as that our complete life and work happen through processes. Yes, everything we perform in our life, every day, takes place through processes or sets of processes. As Edward Deming said, “if you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you are doing”. If you think over about your activities, you will see that it is quite right.Although you can read that one of four Agile principles says that individuals and interactions are over processes and tools, that definitely doesn't mean that processes and tools there are not or that are not important.
So, first, let's demystify what the process is.
The simplest, we can say that the process stands for transforming input into outputs, using necessary and appropriate resources, as well as by someone`s managing. For example, you have whole bread as an input, so you want to get slices as an output. Therefore you will use a knife as a resource, but you will manage the resource and whole the process, moving the knife in a proper way or at an appropriate speed.Ok, that's nice… so, have a look everything you do- processes are everywhere around you. For everything you have some input- sometimes that is Manager's order, sometimes Customer's demand, technical specification or global standard. Also, input can be something your colleague did, some output of his work. Well, that is interesting- someone's output can be your input.
Definitely, you will work easier if your input is better, simpler or such that can facilitate your work.But, it seems it doesn't depend on you but on your colleague… amiss. Don't surrender, think about what you can do in order to get as good input as possible, to get desired inputs. Yes, you can go to your colleague who will deliver you his work and tell him what you need, in what form, what will be the best for you. Try to be polite, but detailed, concrete, and to define your needs in a structured way.
Remember, you are not alone
There is someone in the process after you - your outputs will be his inputs, so take care of that. As you wish and need as better inputs as possible, such next in the process has the same needs. Before start doing your job, ask next in the process what he needs, try to understand why that is important for him, so align your process and your activities with that.Well, that means there are many people who will be included in that stream to the ultimate customer, who can be somebody from the market. So, that means, we should start creating processes backward, thinking what is to be previous activity in order to deliver expected result, so to create processes in that way. It sounds reasonable- you can`t make a roof if you don`t have walls. Start from a roof, start thinking about your processes. Start from the Customer, start from next in the process, help him, understand why some your output is important as his desired input.Go to the mirror and you will understand, it is important for someone else like it is important for you in another situation.Think about processes, think about the next in the process, start building processes from His Majesty the Customer.
We Are Always in The Process of Becoming the Best in The IT Industry!
We understand that process is at the core of everything we do at Quantox. And because we master at all types of processes we are adamant in explaining every part of our software development process to our clients. With Quantox, transparency and understanding is the paramount for a good business relationship. So, Let's Talk!
When digital commerce began online there was a period of time dominated by Do It Yourself webmasters who worked hard to build and refine their businesses by hand with little or zero external help. As things became more complicated, the trend was toward establishing your own core competency and outsourcing narrowly defined responsibilities to outside consultants or independent contractors. Recently there is a new shift in the way business is being done, and Quantox is at the forefront of the modern web development evolution.
“Doing it all yourself just isn’t practical anymore, with so many systems to learn and maintain, complicated codes to create, design trends to account for and the speed at which everything keeps changing. The idea of a one-man shop running a major online business is obsolete,” explained Vuk of Quantox.
“Similarly, clients are now hesitant to hire several independent contractors on their own because they have already experienced the frustration of watching each blame the other whenever anything goes wrong of ends badly. The holistic approach is the most sensible way to handle web development these days, and that is why we have built Quantox from the ground up with comprehensive product management in mind.”
Holistic web development involves having a single point of contact, to handle all of the outsourced elements of any digital product. Whether you want an entire platform coded as a new backend, and need the design of the front end done as well, are seeking to be sure your site is properly optimized for search engines, want your email campaigns and stat tracking to be seamlessly integrated or are seeking custom solutions to any other aspect of your web-based business, having your own project manager overseeing an experienced team of experts is the only realistic way of getting your business to move forward under budget in the time frame allotted.
Quantox employs more than 100 coders, designers, project managers, technologists and experts in their respective fields – capable of providing you with all of the work you want to be done, and we do not outsource any part of your projects or require you to find separate contractors to handle other aspects of the work.
“By working in a holistic way we are responsible for the entire project and we can ensure the strictest quality control while giving our clients a truly scalable solution for virtually any digital challenge being faced. We don’t point fingers, we don’t make excuses and we are always easy to reach. That saves you time, saves you money and in the long run… it also makes Quantox the obvious choice.”
As all of us know, today's market is very demanding and competitive in every industry. When talking about IT industry, that is significantly more expressed, especially when we know that while the World is connected and that IT companies and professionals are available everywhere around us.If you want to exist on the market in such conditions, you are to be better and better from day to day, to rise continually.Yes, from day to day, not from year to year!No one has so much time to wait for improvement, especially if want to grow and increase own standards, providing the best quality to clients, as well as improving an internal organization, developing employees and increasing their satisfaction. Yes, sounds very difficult, like climbing… actually, it is some kind of business climbing.
Comparing business with climbing may sound strange, but there are a lot of similarities actually.Climbing has never been easy- it demands significant efforts, you can`t reach the top of a mountain in a day or in short period, but through many steps.Setting and reaching the small next goals and making base camps for next steps are crucially important for the success of that project, so that approach demands appropriate (specific) mindset from the start. Small goals/steps are very important, as well as base camps, in order to whole the team be accommodated and prepared/ready for next ascent. This is the best way that ensures whole the team to be successful and to achieve the goal through that exciting journey.As our goals are very high, we in Quantox don`t waste time waiting for something to be improved on itself, nor leave things to be on the same level for a long time. Instead, our approach is proactive and progressive, directed to continuous improvement, such that direct all improvements and implement all incremental solutions in a flexible way, adapting to our current level of organizational development and our next business goals.
Understanding that nothing can be moved to extremely high level over the night, we are continuously building positive environment and mindset, systematically helping every of our employees to be better from day to day, cherish concept that our employees are our the most significant and the worthiest resource, so inspire them and consider their ideas and proposals as the best resource for continuous improvement.Using that synergy, we are making small improvements every day, implement and test them, facilitate every change and enable our employees and organization to adapt to change and make fine-tuning. It really makes amazing results, strongly motivates all to continue improving herself/himself and whole the organisation. Kaizen is one of our secret sauces of the success!
We are developing and applying philosophy, culture, techniques, and tools of Kaizen consistently. We have deep necessity to improve ourselves and the company, it lies in our genuine commitment to excellence. Simply, we don't talk about Kaizen, nor try to imagine what that could be- we really live Kaizen every day.
Let me tell you something about working here, in Quantox Technology! It is not standard, boring job! It's a way of life! How many times have you been in a situation that you would give everything just to stay in the bad for a few hours more rather than go to the work, but you can't do it because you have to be in the office at the precise time? I know, you can't even count all these situations, right? Well, guess what, we in Quantox don't have that kind of problems.
Our working time is flexible!And that means that we can really be in the office whenever we want, with no consequences at all! So, if you are tired, you have something private to do, or you just had a long and interesting night with your friends, don't worry. Wake up whenever you want, grab a cup of coffee, get ready and then go to the office! That's how we do it!Of course, this is just a one of the many good things that working in Quantox Technology brings! I'm gonna turn to the science to make this easier for you to understand, so pay attention. They say that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. This statement is often attributed to the ancient Chinese sage Confucius, and many scientific researchers have proven it! If you love what you do, and if you enjoy your work, your results will be outstanding. One more crucial ingredient for the success in the work is a team of people that surround you, and we can really say that this is the part of our company that we are most proud of.
We have all the support in work we need, and our team of administrators, project managers, team leaders and quality assurance will give their best to help you improve your skills and be successful. I must mention that we have a really wide range of projects that we are working on, from smart TV apps, Java, Laravel, Objective-C, Angular 2 to PHP, MySQL, MongoDB, XCode, JavaScript, you name it... We got the most of the industries needs covered by the experienced people and some of our projects have over 60 million of views daily.
And all of that we are managing to achieve in the fantastic offices we have. Cooking a lunch or a dinner and eating with the friends in the comfortable dining room, is a normal thing in our office. We also like to play football, basketball, and many other games during our breaks. Of course, all of this is just to encourage our staff and to create the best possible conditions for their best results.For the end, let's talk about the bond we all have in the Quantox. As I mentioned it before, this is not a just a regular job, this is a way of life. We are spending time together not only in the office, but outside also, and we are having such a great time. Our trips and team buildings are something that we are remembering with the joy and smile on our face and every member of our, now pretty large, team has something special to offer to the collective!
Because of all above mentioned, I can proudly say that we have managed to create the perfect environment for every talented person who wants to work and to be successful. After all, our motto "work hard and play hard" really is our guide!
Artistic Talent- Important But Not Crucial
There are artists in the world that can create magnificent masterpieces that evoke emotional connections with otherwise inanimate objects. Quantox Technology does not hire any of them. While we appreciate artistic talent, that isn’t what makes someone a great designer for commercial applications.
Oil Painting Won't Work On Your Computer Screen
“Our clients want to overcome a frustrating obstacle in their business plans, or are seeking to expand their operations, ” said Vuk of Quantox. “They may want to refresh the look and feel of a website to be in line with the best converting designs currently trending, or they may want to improve the efficiency of their sales funnel with a simpler, more obvious path to making purchases.These are time sensitive tasks that can’t be done by moody or overly sensitive artists. When our clients contact us, our goal is to earn them more money with clean, effective and entertaining designs that improve retention without any unnecessary expenses. Every designer who works at Quantox is great at that, regardless of whether they work well with oil paints and marble chisels or not…”
How Design Portfolio May Be Misleading?
Many business owners are lulled into a false sense of confidence when they are shown the portfolio of an amateur designer who has made a few outstanding pieces of art in the past. Keep in mind, that portfolio likely took them years to create, was probably done when their mood inspired them, and each item in that portfolio may have earned zero dollars for any client no matter how nice it looked.
“When I start to work on the UI/UX of a website, I’m not looking at it while pretending to be Michelangelo,” said Milan, Lead Designer for Quantox. “What I’m doing is putting myself in the mindset of being your potential customer or recurring member. My goal is to increase the number of signups your site brings in, to keep your existing members recurring and present your content in ways that have the best impact on the financial health of your company. If I feel like drawing for fun, I can do that during my lunch hour or on the weekends, professional design isn’t about fun and whimsy, it’s about earning dollars, euros and the trust of your consumers.”
State-of-the-art Digital Design is Found in Quantox!
We look forward to having the opportunity to show you why our design team wins awards from business communities and appreciation from the CEOs, even if it isn’t likely to ever adorn the walls of a famous museum (unless that museum is trying to improve revenue from its ticket sales). Quantox Technology provides free price quotes for design work and can also fully integrate any of the other back-end services your company needs to provide you with a top quality fully-functional digital property faster and better than you ever expected. Let’s Talk about your project!
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE CUSTOMER? FIND OUT MANDATORY.
Many companies deliver products, services or business solutions. But customers are not interested in them. Today`s Customers are more demanding, they want to participate in creating solutions for them, want customized solutions. But, then, if they don`t want products, services, solutions, what are they interested in?
Value!
Value? What is the Value? And, who defines the Value?
Value is that for what a Customer is willing to pay, something valuable to him. When defining the Value, it is very important to start and watch from the Customer`s point of view, from the Customer`s perspective.
That can be a significant problem in many situations- misunderstanding the notion of the Customer`s perspective or a way to be on the Customer`s point of view, in order to understand Customers` needs, requirements, wishes, expectations in the best way. In an intuitive way, many consider Requirement and Customer`s Value as synonyms. But, it is very important to understand that for every Requirement we will have or should have defined Value. Just imagine that you were hired by someone for painting some room in green color.
That is a Customer`s Requirement - the room to be painted. But, Value for him will be that those walls are clearly green, without any accessorizing. If you paint that room just based on his Requirement, maybe you will find adding other colors or details as nicer, better, more interesting. For example, you will probably put some wall in dark red, because of contrast; on some another, you will add a picture of a flower, Sun, or similar.
And, what then? The situation is quite simple - Customer is right. So, what will you do next? Customer will certainly expect to deliver him what required- a green room. For you that means additional work, rework, spending time and materials, delaying next planned or agreed assignments… that means losing possible business opportunities and money. Terrible!
So, is Customer always right?
If we start with an idea that Customer is always right, we will definitely have a problem. Thus, let`s say that the Customer is right for that what is specified, agreed.
Oh, that is a step ahead. Now, we have to make that specification with the Customer, actually to come together to an agreement about Customer`s needs, expectations, wishes… That definitely doesn`t mean just to hear and write down his requirements but to do your best to understand and find out what actually for the Customer represents Value, what is significant for him. Ever you said “I suppose…” you had already made a mistake and had more possibility of project failure and conflicts with Customer, Team, Managers, etc. Instead, to start do everything to avoid such situations, doing all activities that will help you to find out and understand Customer`s requirements, but Values that he considers, as well.
How to find out as much as possible?
There are many ways - actively listen to your Customer, try to understand him, as many questions, include relevant team members, draw, make some models or mock-ups, make a wireframe, give them some predefined questionnaire... do everything you have. There are many situations when Customers actually don't know what they really want or need.
In some situations, they know, but don't formulate that completely. Therefore, responsibility for defining Requirements and Values is yours. Responsibility and interest. Yes, that sounds demanding, but it is such- you have to provide them all necessary help because such you will help yourself. You have to be a very good listener, an Active Listener, in order to understand what Customer's idea is, what he wants. Additionally, you have to be a Facilitator, to help Customer to state all his ideas. Also, an Investigator, as you have to research, investigate Customers minds and needs.
That what you are doing creates the value for the company, eliminates wastes, saves time, resources and money, makes a strong base for next processes, improves quality, but increases Customer's trust and satisfaction, as well as a reputation of your company.
Enough, isn't it? Go and find out what the Value is. Just deliver Value.
What if we invest in people and they leave?
As the saying goes, Quantox only hires the best, so if you can work here we already know you could easily get a job anywhere else as well.
That’s the nature of hiring top-tier professionals whose skills are envied by competitors. Keeping our team happy while encouraging the right kind of corporate culture is what we do best. After all, a web services company is only as good as the people who work to build it, and it can only succeed when everyone shares the same vision, with a common purpose fueled by a real passion for perfection.
“This year’s racing event was terrific, high performance,” said Vladimir, VP of Quantox. “Yes, it was fun and exciting to get the whole team burning up the high-performance track in cars with a trophy on the line… but in a larger sense, it was also exactly the right message for everyone who works at Quantox to take to heart.”
Winning on the racetrack isn’t about guessing or long wasteful thought processes that leave you meandering around the track as competitors pass you by. To reach the checkered flag first, you need to be efficient, smart, quick, adaptive and focused – which are all traits we put at a premium when hiring new team members for careers at Quantox!
Quantox Racing Is Team Building And An Efficiency Lesson
“The winner finds the right line to travel around the track, one that is the least congested by traffic, taking the shortest path from point A to B, and then defends that advantage by perfecting all the angles to stay ahead of everyone else, ” said Vladimir with a smile. “Adapting to the changing behavior of the other drivers, focusing on the goal without distractions from spectators on the sidelines or other racers, and always looking for a way to save time without compromising on the end results. If you can do it on the track you have the right mentality to do it in the office. At Quantox we compete to win because a good effort is ok in school, but in business, the best player is the one who consistently takes home the trophy.”

Quantox Is The Easy Solution For Fixing Spooky Code
Holidays are times when most of the bugs in code come to the surface. Our dedicated team of exterminators fights them using best practices
As everyone prepares for Halloween and you start noticing all the ghouls, ghosts and goblins in your neighborhood, you are probably already thinking none of them are really that scary compared to the spooky feeling you get from poor code written by unreliable programmers, which we wrote about here. Here is how Quantox drives a wooden stake through the heart of bad code, along with the details of a new treat we are offering you this holiday season!
The Worst Of Them All
Code Ghosts:
Optimize your code and don't let Code ghosts surprise you on holidays
Bad code hides in your backend like a Ghost waiting to jump out and shout BOO when you least expect it! Your systems may seem to work correctly, but is everything tracking properly, are any resources being wasted and it is you really sure it isn’t all about to fail when you add a new plugin or feature for your end users? Quantox can review your existing architecture, or streamline your software line by line if needed to minify the source, enhance load speeds and remove all doubt about the quality of your network.
Code Ghouls:
Not rich enough to have cheap codebase
Nothing is more ghoulish than ransom schemes and backdoor access unethically installed by a fly-by-night coder you never should have hired in the first place. Security always starts internally, with good solid code written by a reputable firm that has a long track record working with known brands and caring for their infrastructure. When you work with Quantox, we supply plenty of references and testimonials from people you already know and trust. If you are nervous a ghoul may have already compromised your code security, contact us right away to discuss the many ways we can clean up your code and establish meaningful backup procedures to chop off that ghoul’s head before he ever gets close to anything of value!
Code Goblins:
[caption id="attachment_191" align="alignnone" width="761"]
Incompetent developers are developing your site, why?
They don’t really mean any harm; they’re just a horde of completely incompetent monsters that run around claiming to be professionals. Did you try to save a few pennies by paying a goblin to pretend to do a good job when you could have hired Quantox and actually gotten great code instead? Relax, we aren’t mad, we're ready to fix whatever they left unfinished. Sometimes we can make use of their failed attempt, but more often we can write fresh code that gets the job done even faster and better than you ever expected. Hire us when you want to stop hiring goblins and start working with a team of real experts.
Trick or Treat?
At Quantox we don't believe in tricks. There isn’t one simple trick to make you trillions of dollars and clickbait doesn’t work when talking to business owners. What does work is focusing on providing honest, the quality code in a professional manner and that's what makes working with Quantox a treat! To make your Halloween even sweeter, we will add some extra to your goody bag that, on any work from a new client who needs help fixing the mess other companies have already made. We know it sucks to have to re-do something you thought was already taken care of, and that will never happen once you start working with Quantox, so this first time you want to get away from the monsters to step into the light with Quantox.com, we’re ready to help you at even lower price than usual.

The return of Miljan Simonović to our company marks not only the comeback of an experienced professional but also the continuation of an exceptionally fruitful collaboration. During the past period, Miljan has demonstrated his qualities and dedication, and we have been pleased to follow his professional development. We maintained contact, waiting for the right opportunity to embark on a shared journey towards an even more successful future.
Miljan's return to the role of a Project Manager enables him to, step by step, realize his professional ambitions. We continue to build our story together, with full confidence in Miljan's ability to achieve outstanding results.
How do you view your previous experience with Quantox, and can you share some details about your start with the company?
My first encounter with Quantox was during my studies when I started as a junior Project Manager. Before that, I was active in the nonprofit sector, organizing events and small projects. So, Quantox marked the beginning of my corporate career. I worked on numerous projects, learned, tried new things, and developed myself. Despite the later challenges of the pandemic and uncertainty, Quantox is a company that truly cares about its employees and made an effort to ensure that challenges were not felt, and teams adapted well to remote work.
How do you believe the time initially spent with us prepared you for your current career?
Regarding my initial experience with Quantox, I would highlight two things. Firstly, the excellent mentorship I received. I believe that at the beginning of one's career, having a good mentor is crucial. They provide support for learning and development while also assigning real and challenging tasks that help gain experience – something I definitely had at Quantox. Secondly, the diversity of projects. Working in the outsourcing world allows constant learning through different projects and working with different clients. Each new project is a unique story, a new idea to be realized, and new challenges to overcome – each new experience contributes to making future work easier.
Do you believe this is the right moment for your second experience at Quantox, and why?
Absolutely! In the past period, I have matured and gained a lot of experience, working with startups, smaller companies, and even corporations like IBM. Now is the right time to leverage that experience and take project management to a higher level. Quantox has also matured significantly, working on internal organization, growth, and strategic expansion. Despite industry challenges, there's no better way to progress than by solving problems and facing challenges.
Have there been any changes in your professional journey in the past?
The core of my career has always been communication with people and working on various activities. The type of projects has changed, ranging from in-house product development to outsourcing projects and improving internal processes. Industries have also changed – from education to healthcare, cloud services, and blockchain. However, my role as a Project Manager has remained consistent, helping teams develop outstanding products.
In which areas do you think your previous experience will bring the most value to the PM team?
Primarily, in improving organization and processes. I've had the opportunity to work with numerous startups and scale-ups in establishing PM teams, creating custom PM frameworks, and structuring internal processes. Quantox has made significant progress in internal organization since my first time here when there were around 200 employees, so I see room for further improvement and stability to support the company's continued growth. Of course, my primary focus is on project delivery, and my previous experience in different industries will make it easier to work at Quantox, where each project is innovative in its own way, depending on the industry, technologies, and the client's imagination.
What do you think are the biggest challenges for project managers in the industry today?
As a global challenge that has been widely discussed recently, I would mention remote work. It's much easier to work with a team that's in the same room because co-location facilitates effective communication, team building, and problem-solving.
The pandemic has brought a new normal – distributed teams and remote work, but the post-COVID era is trying to reintroduce office work through hybrid models. It's up to project managers to find the best solution for their projects and teams. Additionally, there are constant industry changes, a constant influx of new methodologies, frameworks, and tools – all of which need to be followed to stay up-to-date and deliver the best results.
What is your primary motivation and inspiration in business - what keeps you going?
Client satisfaction and team fulfillment. Although project managers don't create tangible value by writing code or creating content, enabling smooth work, leading teams, and solving problems are also crucial for a successful project. The feeling within the team when a project is completed and delivered, whether regularly through sprints or in phases, is highly motivating. When all of that is delivered to the client, client satisfaction is another motivator to continue delivering quality work.

Quantox ekipu i ovog leta očekuje neobičan i jedinstveni timbilding. Čačak je ove godine imenovan za prestonicu kulture, a mi se okupljamo upravo tu gde je pre 17 godina počela Quantox priča.
Već osmu godinu za redom, Čačak je domaćin festivala Dani urbane kulture u sklopu kog muralisti iz zemlje i sveta oslikavaju prepoznatljive građevine ovog grada. Ove godine će, uz pomoć lokalnih street art umetnika, jedan od murala biti posvećen Quantox-u.
DAN
Prirodne lepote Ovčarsko-kablarske klisure su nadaleko poznate, a mi smo iskoristili posetu ovim krajevima da oformimo i budemo deo jednog novog i autentičnog spektakla, a to je - Moravska Quantox regata. Sa uigranim timom ekipe Discover Serbia osmislili smo nezaboravnu plovnu avanturu klisurom.
Katamaran, čamac ili sub-daska - izbor je u potpunosti naš! Quantox tim ima slobodu da izabere kako će doživeti magičnu Zapadnu Moravu.
NOĆ
Ove godine smo hteli nešto drugačije. Zato smo rešili da probamo nešto nesvakidašnje - Quantox će biti partner lokalnog muzičkog festivala - Uzlet Fest - u sklopu kog ćemo imati i naš Quantox Electro Stage.
U okviru samog stejdža nalaziće se i chill out zona, kao i Barbot 2.0 - unapređeni robot koji pravi koktele za sve posetioce. Istovremeno, a u duhu Quantox-a, radimo i na podizanju svesti o ekologiji i očuvanju životne sredine. Dok Barbot priprema piće, svako ko donese 5 praznih limenki ili plastičnih čaša dobija besplatan koktel - jer Svaka Limenka Se Računa.
Mnogobrojni specijaliteti, kultura, istorija i zanimljive destinacije nas čekaju - sve što Čačak ima da ponudi ovaj vikend je namenjeno upravo nama!
Nova avantura za stvaranje uspomena uskoro kreće!

QUANTOX IT League is the first sports competition of this type in Serbia!
A motivation to enable people in this industry to play sports and connect - resulted in a project which is unique and new in our country.
So far, 5 seasons of the Quantox IT League and 4 seasons of the Summer League have been played in over 800 matches and with a common goal - good fun, quality games, and an opportunity to meet and connect with colleagues from the industry.
With Luka Bulatović, the director of the IT League, we discussed the idea of gathering IT companies in one place through a sport and the advantages this kind of competition provides and promotes.
The Quantox IT league was formed 6 years ago. What was the initial motive behind the establishment of the corporate basketball league and has the main idea changed to this day?
Six years ago, we gathered at the basketball court where we played basketball once a week. Back then we were teammates on the court, and today, we are the organizers of the Quantox IT League. We moved from the court to the offices and thought about how to connect with other IT professionals and set a new standard that the IT world deserves.
We are aware of the fact that it is very difficult to find free time for physical activity, but when you have a team that motivates you - then basketball training and games become an immense pleasure.
To this day, the same idea remains and we are proud of the entire organizational team as well as all the companies that have trusted us and have been participating for years.
What is the main vision of the Quantox IT League and where do you see it in the coming years?
The idea for this project arose as a desire to present the entire competition in a different light. Our mission is to create an inspiring, creative, and positive environment that encourages unhindered freedom of expression through sports. The club's vision is for people from the IT sector to play sports and meet new colleagues from the profession and also raise their work to an even higher level through the Quantox IT League.
For now, the League gathers only basketball players, but we plan to expand this project to other popular sports. The biggest challenge is to attract more companies that will be part of the league, and we plan to do that with constant improvement of conditions and through introducing novelties.
More than 50 IT companies and about 1500 players have gone through the IT League. What are the key impressions of the competition?
We are proud of the numbers that show us that we worked hard all these years to reach the 6th season and 32 teams. During this competition, some of the teams improved their game thanks to the good organization within the team and a large number of training sessions.
The reasons for participating in the Quantox IT League differ, from recreation, socializing with colleagues, and strengthening team spirit. Furthermore, one of the main competitive motives is raising the trophy at the end of the competition. And yet, above all these, the most interesting part for the participants is the "third half", when they stay after the game and hang out.
.jpg)
What do the companies that are part of the league see as the biggest benefit?
The Quantox IT League offers companies the opportunity for their people to spend quality time participating in a sport & recreational competition with their team. This way, they improve both their physical and mental health. This is one of the ways for colleagues to get closer to each other, get to know each other better, and spend quality time outside the office together, in a different environment. Further benefits are that, over time, members begin to understand each other better, develop better relationships and have more open communication.
What is the main drive of people who are part of the IT League?
Winning and losing are integral parts of every game. Every team has ups and downs. What drives them are the good results they achieve in matches. Another major motivator is the fans who are there to encourage and cheer for their favorites in the stands!
We believe that the conditions in our league are at the highest level in the country, but we can do even better. The real challenge is to overcome yourself, to do something new. Challenges are what actually drives us!
The IT League has recently gathered 32 basketball teams and organized an humanitarian All-Star event for the treatment of four-year-old Helena Živković from Čačak, who suffers from autism. Hardware and Software teams competed to help little Helena, and collected 126,900 dinars from ticket sales. This is just one of the many ways in which this kind of sports competition contributes to individuals and communities when needed.
The fifth season of the Summer IT League is beginning soon, and registrations start on the 17th of April.
See you there as we continue to strengthen the IT community through team spirit together!
How to connect artificial intelligence and shooting stars?
Well, you can find the answers to these questions from our Dušan Pavlović, Data Scientist in Quantox Technology, who will give a lecture PER DATA AD ASTRA on 23th of March at the Geekstone Meet-Up Event.
Dušan will demonstrate such a connection and talk about how computer vision, deep learning, and research on meteors - shooting stars - overlap.
One of the topics is how relatively easily you can apply your knowledge of neural networks to solve the problem of automatic detection of meteors in astronomic data made by radio detectors. This problem is one of the most complex ones in this field and our understanding of different problems in the Solar System depends on it.
As someone who studied astrophysics, being an author and the host of the science podcast "Radio Galaxy '' while engaged in the physics of meteors and meteorite astronomy for years, Dušan will show one of the examples of how to apply Data Science to scientific data!
The lecture will be held in Serbian and the entrance is free!

The traditional spring CS:GO tournament is upon us!
Serbian IT companies will gather from the 3rd to the 6th of April at the CS:GO Vol.4 charity tournament.
Motivated by the important topic and achieved results from the previous year,
we decided to stay with the same goal - in 2023 the IT community will be playing for Serbian maternity hospitals and better conditions for the youngest and their mothers!
Companies can register up to 3 teams and donate the financial funds to the common fund. As in previous years, the start for one million dinars is provided by Quantox.
After the closing of applications, by public voting and filling out an anonymous survey, we will together decide which maternity hospital we are helping this year!
We hope that the HIT CS:GO crew will expand this year with new companies and teams that will compete, have a great time and show that the greatest victory is humanity.
Register your team by the 31st of March.

What Are Live Templates?
Live templates are predefined functionalities in almost all JetBrains IDE programs.
When Can We Use Live Templates?
They are recommended if you want to increase your productivity by placing the code line that you would probably use the most into the Live template. It will save your time in further coding. Most people that are working in IT are looking for ways to cut time spent in development so they could do other stuff. Like working on some personal projects, or, in my case, playing darts with my colleagues. This is one example of achieving that.
How Can We Implement Live Templates?
My advice is, whenever you come across a block of code that most likely will be used occasionally in a short period of time, take a few minutes to add it inside Live templates in order to save time by calling it with a small change.
- Dialogue with live templates can be found inside Preferences -> Editor -> Live Templates and it looks like this:
Even when you install PHPStorm, you can find some predefined templates which can be a good base for you to learn how to create a structure for new ones.
- You can also choose the way you want to call templates. It can be ‘Tab’, ‘Space’, or any other key combination.
- Let's go through an example of adding one template for Laravel Framework. One of the ideas is to use it as relations inside models. The first step is to click on `+` and choose `Live template`.
- Next, you need to fill out a new template.
-Abbreviations (text that you will type in order to call the template)
-Description (description popup)
-Template text (template body)
-Context (the context in which the template applies)
-Edit variables (dynamic part of the template)
-Expand (button to call the template)
- After adding the template, next thing is to continue with editing the dynamic part of the template by clicking on `Edit Variables`. Save all progress and go back to the Editor.
- Let's see what happens if you open Post model class and you add-relation with User class.
By typing template abbreviation that you`ve just created, you will get a popup with a suggestion.
- Use the `Tab` button to fill out the block code on places where the cursor is and places you have chosen to enter manually. Every next Tab press will lead you to the next place until they are all filled out.
The final look of block code would look like this.
When Using Live Templates is Not Recommended?
If you are a beginner and want to go through the complete learning process step by step, then it would be better not to use this functionality. Later, when you need to be faster, use Live templates and save your time.
4What's Behind the Efficiency of Quantox Developers?
Using Live Templates is just one way how Quantox developers can expedite the software development process. We know how to use IDE programs to increase our productivity, while keeping the code readable, reusable and secure. If you need an IT solutions fast, we have ways of cutting the development process time. Let's Talk!
When we asked how his colleagues would describe him, the answer was simple - Liverpool. Besides being a huge and passionate fan of this club, Sladjan has been part of our team for 5 years, and our Joker - at the masquerade. :) He is working in our office in Čačak as a Backend programmer and he has a lot of experience and achieved results. Hanging and working with Sladjan is a great pleasure, we congratulate him for 5 fantastic years and say a well-known quote - With us, you’ll never walk alone!
- What advice would you give to yourself 5 years ago?
Don’t be afraid and have more confidence in yourself.
- Do you remember your first day at work?
Yes, I was extremely nervous.
- Tell us something that people don’t know about you.
I’m afraid of public speaking.
- What would you never give up?
My family.
- Which moment was the most impressive for you?
First New Year’s celebration with the company and getting know people in the right way :)
- The weekend is your time for?
Rest. And some beer if the situation with covid allows.
- Something that you did and wouldn't do it again?
Trying absinth. That green fairy is definitely not for everyone. :)
- What is the weirdest food that you ever tasted?
Bear prosciutto
- What would you be if you weren't a programmer?
Definitely some other job that involves working on a computer.
Today, you will see a valuable member of our team in front of you - Miloš. He has been training karate for many years, he loves chess, music, movies and besides all that, he says that his favorite hobby is work. He also participated in our conference and you can see his lecture here.
- Is it necessary to have an artistic spirit to be a designer?„Yes, but practice and the will to work and study mean a lot more.”
- What else does it take to be good at your job?„First of all, you must regularly follow the trends and always keep up with them. Important factors are perseverance, motivation, and inspiration.”
- How did you learn?„My interest in design arose fifteen years ago while I was working in printing houses. First I learned graphic and then web design (along with HTML and CSS) which I still do today.”
- What’s the most interesting thing you’ve done so far?„I participated and won international competitions, and as the most interesting thing I would single out the fact that I designed a can for Heineken beer for domestic markets and won first place in the Carlsberg regional competition.”
- Would you like to learn a programming language?„Yes, PHP and Java. And I would also like to perfect the HTML and CSS I learned at the beginning of my career.”
- What attracted you to work at Quantox?„The fact that the company is serious and the team is great. Before I started working, I received recommendations from colleagues, first hand. I also liked that the company works with strong clients and that there is room for improvement.”
- What would be the best project for you?„My best projects are those where I have no restrictions, ie. I have complete freedom.”
- What are your impressions of the conference?„I would have preferred if the conference was live, but now the situation has dictated that it must be held online. That would be a bigger challenge for me.”
- Are you satisfied with your performance?„It's weird when you hear yourself teaching. It helped me see some things about myself, and to know which segment I need to progress. Certainly a very big and nice new experience.”

We did an interview with a guy who knows how to rule the chaos. Yes, we are thinking about the chaos caused by programming. 🙃He is 27 and he works in our Ukraine team. His name is Ivan and he is PHP addicted.
- How did you decide to become a developer?„That was plan B if I don't succeed as a Sound Engineer. Programming was pretty easy for me, and university teachers said that I`m pretty talented. I’ve read a lot of material, learn how to develop in my free time, and in the last year of study, I found a great opportunity to start a programming career.”
- Do you know or would you like to learn any other programming language?„It would be better to learn some additional technologies that could help me in the working process. I'm a PHP evangelist, so for me, there are a lot of great languages, but PHP is a leader of web development and kind of compromise over different language approaches.”
- What motivates you the most at work?„When I see that my job brings results - the happiness to clients, money to the company, and developers.”

- Are you satisfied with your performance?„Yeah, sure! Next time will grab more time for speech.”
- Did you have stage fright?„Not a lot of, but got a little shivering. 😅 I have a lot of experience in public communications, but not related to developer stuff.”

- What are your impressions of the conference?„The conference was a good idea in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. A great opportunity to learn something new (especially for the new guys/ beginner developers), an opportunity to check your skills, to investigate something, to spend your time quality instead to sit in front of the desk, and to do nothing.”
- Are you satisfied with your performance?„I had a huge stage fight. Every time when I need to do something in public, in my head I'm doing it the worst possible. Maybe it is because I didn’t have much experience. But one is for sure, I would do it again only if I have a very good reason.” 🙂
Petar is a passionate coffee lover and a master at preparing it. So it is with programming. He uses various technologies - Front End, Back End, DevOps. He loves hackathons - he was in the winning team twice. Peter also likes to participate in meetups and conferences, he is the organizer of NišJS meetup.Besides that, he was one of the organizers of our Quantox Virtual Conf and his lecture is available here.
- What did your development path in Quantox look like?„When I started, I only did Angular (Front End) but I learned fast and I started getting involved in BackEnd tasks. After only half a year, I became team lead. More projects and dynamic business has led to more engagement. Then we started working on our big project Review Network and after that, I was a CINO.”
- What motivates you the most at work?„The feeling when you have a problem and you solve it. And when you imagine something and then you do it in reality. That is a great satisfaction.”
- Do you have a secret source of creativity?„Cool ideas for the applications often come up from the daily chat with Hamato.”
- When did you realize you wanted to be a programmer?„As a very young child because my dad is a programmer. From a young age, I watched him do something and then I would try it too, so it would irritate me if I didn't know how, and that's why I was determined to learn.”
- If you weren't a programmer would you do?„I would work in a coffee shop.”
- What attracted you to work at Quantox?„The dynamic atmosphere, cool people, plenty of room to progress. I immediately liked the fact that I didn't feel like I was at work, but like I came to enjoy, hang out and do something useful.”
- Tabs or Spaces?„Spaces all the way!”
- What are your impressions of the conference?„I think it was great because everything went spontaneously and since it was our first, it went well. There were no major omissions and there were a lot of people making me happy. I also had fun making a conference site.”
- Are you satisfied with your performance?„Yeah, I'm always satisfied when I prepare something in one day and it comes out to be good. We had some changes in the schedule and I had to "hoop-in" at the last minute, but I didn't mind.”
- How did you gain experience as a lecturer?„I have always loved to share what I know and to teach others so I have always been happy to participate as a lecturer at meetups. But I did not enjoy preparing the lecture but the improvisation itself. So when you do that a lot of times it becomes a habit.”
- Do you still have stage fright?„I have, but it's not the same anxiety as before, because when you have a public appearance several times, you know that nothing bad can happen, and even if it does, it's not a big deal.”
Igor Stamenković comes from Niš. He is part of our HR team and works as a recruiter, and was also a lecturer at our recent conference. He says he has always wanted to be involved in programming and software development. His father was involved in programming and design too, so that love for computers was born at a very young age. He graduated from the high school "Bora Stanković" in the field of informatics, but he realized that it was not his calling and then he decided to enroll at the Faculty of Philosophy - Department of Psychology. His fields of interest are social psychology and learning theory. Quantox was the company that gave him the opportunity to unite his two loves.
- Is the job of a recruiter difficult?
„My feelings for work are mixed. I think that it is not emotionally difficult because working with people and the desire to contribute to their success is noble and that is what fulfills me. We, recruiters, are fighting for a better future for people because we give them the opportunity for a new, better job and at the same time for the benefit of the company and the general growth of the IT community in Serbia. But I must admit that it can be hard when the workload is increased.”
- What is the hardest thing when it comes to working with people?
„As I mature, I think that cynicism and passive aggression are the hardest for me. When people are not honest in communication and conceal their motives and thoughts. This makes every conversation quite difficult, not only in the professional sphere.”
- Have you ever regretted your choice to become a recruiter?
„I haven't had a chance yet and I hope it will stay that way in the future. Every job has ups and downs, so, sometimes I think I made a mistake but these are brief moments of reconsideration.”
- What prejudices did you have about IT people before you started working with them?
„The truth is, I had prejudices. I thought that everyone had to be university educated and that they necessarily had to learn more about engineering, but as I became more and more involved in IT, I realized that it was not necessary.”
- Recruitment or HR?
„Both because it is ideal to do tasks for both. It gives me the impression of how we function and on the other hand it brings dynamism to the business and prevents monotony.”
- Favorite Quantox benefit?
„It used to be remote but now it is not a benefit but a necessity. I liked the attitude of the company, that the health of the employees is in the first place, so with the first signs of the Covid19, the team was sent to work from home. In Nis, we were one of the first companies to decide to take that step.”
- What are your impressions of the conference?
„Mixed but definitely positive. I really liked the idea as well as the range of topics. The lecturers were qualified and professional to talk about their topics.”
- Are you satisfied with your performance?
„Yes, I am. There are things I can improve but overall it was good. I wish I had a live audience.”
- Have you had any experience before?
„I had experiences when I lectured to college students. I like to have performances and to address people.”
- Which other lecture did you like the most?
„Although I've watched almost all the lectures, I can't decide on one. Džavrić had a very nice lecture and I also liked Vojo's, which was concise and specific. Uroš explained everything thoroughly and impartially. Petar's lecture was also honest and interesting. They were all great and quality.”
This time, our interlocutor is Vojislav Branović. Vojo is 31 years old and lives in Čačak. He has been working at Quantox for almost 8 years and he has started as a content writer. Two years ago, he decided to study for QA and officially changed his position (and job) a year ago. In his free time, he plays basketball, likes hiking, and reading books.He was also part of our recently held Quantox Virtual Conf and you can see his lecture here.
- How did you decide to embark on an adventure and re-qualify?
“At one point in my career as a content writer in the BPO sector, I reached a level where there was no room for advancement and then I realized that I wanted and needed to learn something new in order to improve. and increase earnings, and the company met my needs.”
- Was it hard?
“It was not difficult, it was very interesting for me and I would do it again.”
- Who helped you the most in your studies?
“Mentor on the course I attended. I learned the rest myself, from the internet, and the material I got from school.”
- Do you have any advice for people who are thinking about retraining?
“Learn something new every day because in that way you can advance in your career and avoid the monotony of working in the same job forever.”
- What are the biggest challenges in working with clients?
“To understand what they want because they are generally not precise enough when setting tasks.”
- The favorite anecdote with colleagues
“It's hard to say because things that happen spontaneously and remain as a fond memory for us might not be interesting or funny to others, but I'm happy that I work in a company where situations like that occur on a daily basis.”
- Can you recommend some books?
“Yes, "Dark Tower" by Stephen King, "Kosingas" - Aleksandar Tesic, and "The Shack" - William P. Young”
- Favorite Quantox benefit?
“Friends.” 🙂
- Are you satisfied with your lecture at the conference?
“Considering that I have never given a lecture before, I think that I was solid. I would love to do the same again.”
- Did you have stage fright?
“I would be lying if I said that I was not, but I learned in sports to turn it into a positive stage fright that better affects my performance.”
Our colleague Uroš Anđelić from Belgrade took a few minutes and chatted with us. He revealed to us that he has been working as a programmer for 3 and a half years and that he is self-taught. He first learned Java and then PHP, Python, and JavaScript. He also shared his knowledge and experience on Quantox Virtual Conf, and anyone who hasn’t watched it can do so on our Youtube channel.
- Which programming language would you like to learn?
“I try to keep up with new technologies. At the moment, Node is interesting to me, I would like to learn GoLang as well.”
- How did you decide on Java?
“I wanted to make Android apps so Java seemed like a good first and generic language. But by chance, I started doing backend with PHP and I stayed on it.”
- Do you have ambitions to become a full-stack?
“I would like to have my own start-up one day, and in order to be able to do that, I need to know how to do "everything". So, yeah, I do think in that direction.”
- Recommend a book or tutorial that you used while learning?
“The book “You don’t know JS” is one very handy source. There is no single author, but a group of professionals is constantly updating it in accordance with the development. It's free and available on GitHub.”
- What misconceptions do people have when it comes to learning programming languages?
“You need to pay for a course and give money to learn to program. Plenty of quality content is available online and for free.”
- What was the best project in Quantox you worked on so far?
“I bring the best experience from one short project. It was made from scratch and with the latest technologies like Laravel and React. It is in my opinion a kind of ideal project.”
- Laravel or Symphony?
“Laravel.”
- Angular or React?
“React.”
- Tabs or spaces?
“Spaces but by pressing the tab.”
- Are you satisfied with your lecture at Quantox Virtual Conf?
“I am. This was my first experience of this type, and I would definitely try again as a lecturer.”
Marko Manojlović is our colleague from Kragujevac. He has been living and working in Belgrade for 7 years, and he has been a part of the Quantox team for two years now. His love for programming is confirmed by the fact that he is a Full Stack programmer. He mostly uses JavaScript and React, but he is always willing to learn something new. Hence his interest in "Deno" and his desire to share his knowledge with us. You can watch his lecture at Quantox Virtual Confhere.
- Have you ever regretted your choice to become a programmer?
“No, I haven't. I find this job very demanding and challenging but it is equally exciting.”
- What attracted you to work at Quantox?
“Marketing. (laughs) I worked in the previous company for 5 years and I was engaged not only in programming but also in organizational and leadership activities, after which I wanted to fully dedicate myself only to programming and further development of technical skills. Quantox made it possible for me.”
- Would you like to pursue programming throughout your entire career?
“Generally yes, but under different conditions. I need to be motivated by the job and it needs to fit in with the client's requirements. Also, to always follow new technologies and enter new areas such as AI and machine learning.”
- What is the most absurd prejudice about developers and IT people?
“That they are not social types of people, ie that they are not inclined to socialize with people. And the other is that developers sit and code all the time. That is not true at all. Programming is only one part of the job and there is also planning, software design, and constant learning.”
- Best work experience at Quantox so far?
“Business trips to Germany and Romania. Business trips are always interesting because we get to know the business culture of other countries and we also meet clients in person with whom we usually communicate online on a daily basis.”
- Favorite Quantox benefit?
“Flexible working hours. Quantox has shown that it can really work, especially at the time of the Covid19. I like the fact that I have the opportunity to organize my own working hours.”
- Deno or Node?
“Currently Node.”
- What are your impressions of the conference?
“Positive. I was surprised that so many people signed up. But of course, there is always room for improvement in terms of organization and tools.”
- Have you had any experience before?
“I was giving a lecture at Quantox and I was also at an Oracle conference, so yeah, I had papers from before.”
- Would you try again to be in the role of a lecturer?
“Of course. In general, I think it's great that the conference is organized because people are interested in online learning and podcasts. During the quarantine, people realized that there was quality content on online platforms.”
Today we introduce you to Aleksandar Džavrić, our colleague from Kragujevac. Some of you may have already “met” him during Quantox Virtual Conf. He was the one who opened our conference with his lecture on the development path of programmers and very useful tips. You can watch the lecture here, and get to know Dzavra a little better below.
- Which programming language would you like to learn?"That would definitely be GoLang."
- If you could choose a supernatural power to help you in your work, what would it be?"Maybe levitation. To reduce the pressure on the spine. All of us who sit a lot need it."
- What would be the best project for you?"An internal project of the company which would work with new technologies and which would have a large budget, and whose purpose would be to help children become or stay healthy."
- A favorite anecdote from work?"Every “tavern salary” is a favorite anecdote. Every month on salary day, I go to a tavern with my colleagues from the Kragujevac office. We have a favorite tavern, which is our most common choice, but we do not hesitate to explore new places."
- Early bird or a late owl?"Early bird. I wake up every morning before 6 o'clock… but I don't even go to bed very early." (laughter)
- What are your impressions of the conference?"Positive. I think it's an interesting way to learn something new with the help of people who are experts in their fields."
- Are you satisfied with your performance?"I am, considering that this was my first conference lecture."
- Did you have stage fright?"No. Maybe only when it's all over." (laughter)
- Have you had any experience before?"Yes, I gave lectures at Quantox's internal workshops and at the Faculty of Science in Kragujevac."
- Would you try again in the role of a lecturer?"Yes, I think it's a good experience and also important for the career of us as programmers and future managers/architects."

Meet Sascha Mitscherlich, our colleague from Frankfurt. He will help us in the mission to establish our brand on the European market. With only 36 years of age and vast experience in marketing and sales, he is a perfect choice for our brand new Sales Manager in Germany. Sascha likes sport, nature, and he is very creative and has big plans for Quantox.
- Why did you choose Quantox?
"Before I accept a new job-offer I make proper research to get all information about the company history and its reputation. On each platform, I checked the ratings and opinions about Quantox and I was stunned about the number of recommendations of happy customers, users, and employees, which is not self-evident especially in the IT-industry.After a couple of very nice and interesting chats with Filip and Vuk, it was not a question anymore to join Quantox, only when!"
- What do you like the most about us?
"Besides a very good reputation, I would choose the projects Quantox already successfully finished and its impressive customer base. This will definitely help to gain a foothold in Germany.I also like social media appearance. It is a good mix of business and work-life content. I can’t wait to see more of it. Many companies ignore that."
- How do you think Quantox will be positioned on the German market next year?
"The long-term target is to be a market leader for web development in Germany, no question. For this and next year, I focus on our awareness and pipeline building in Germany. That means we will have a strong focus on marketing activities and to find partners which can leverage our sales force. The target is to become the challenger in the German market and to have the first regional partners until the end of the year. We definitely have what it takes to play on the top."
- What are your expectations from cooperation with us?
"One important process already started: the knowledge transfer.That’s a point where all my new colleagues can help me with. You think it is interesting for me or it can help me or my prospects? Share it with me, please!Another point is to get in touch with the different departments to get a better understanding of the responsibilities and the internal processes are essential. I expect support and excellent cooperation with everyone, especially with the Marketing team."
- What are your expectations from Quantox in Germany?
"We have established a legal entity in Germany including a well-located office in the Frankfurt Area with modern infrastructure to have a place to meet customers and prospects. An organically growing team of German-speaking professionals for various positions will be needed for that tough but very exciting challenge.I would like to work with clean CRM and structured processes because I live by the motto: ”What’s not written in the CRM, never happened.”And of course, I would like to get introduced to our existing customers in Germany and our internal project owners."
- How do you see the development in Germany at this moment?
"We have a lot of innovative and global companies in Germany. Everyone is trying to remain competitive, especially in the age of digitalization, where start-ups are springing up like mushrooms and both, start-ups and global companies, are desperately trying to get the few available professionals on the market. The “Fachkräftemangel” (in German) is a problem for all companies looking for IT professionals. The German Government and the German industry are trying for years to attract more IT professionals and experts from other countries but even with those measures, the demand isn’t served at all.Currently, there are no real big names or market leaders when it comes to web development companies in Germany. But we can already see companies intensifying their activities in Germany to get a part of the big cake and of course, now, one of them is Quantox."
- Do you have any special strategy on your mind?
"The key to success in Germany is awareness, credibility, and trust. To become a well-known company for web development in Germany, we need to invest in marketing, selective ads, establishing a recommendation- and partner network, intensifying the social media content and activities in German, and much more. We will focus on all business sizes, from start-ups up to global enterprises therefore our German headquarter will be near the global business hub of Frankfurt/Main. The location will have a positive influence on many points. Be it the accessibility, the good infrastructure, a larger range of potential employees due to the size and popularity of Frankfurt, many trade fairs, or the short distance to future major customers. Once we have a reputation in Germany and we fulfill the requirements, Quantox Germany will participate in public tenders which would further accelerate our growth and awareness in the German market."
- Are there any innovations that you would like to implement in Quantox’s business culture?
"From what I saw, the business culture is already great at Quantox and I’m sure the Quantox team shares the same values as I do. Be honest and transparent everything else will definitely hurt the reputation of the company, always treat customers and colleagues with respect, be punctual/keep deadlines and keep your promises, work more focused and cleaner than quick and dirty, structure your day as good as you can but stay agile and don’t forget the fun besides all the work." 😊
- What are the advantages of Quantox over the competition in Germany?
"It is a combination of our good reputation, our long history of successfully finished projects of all sizes and focal points, our references, the skills of our highly qualified employees (many of whom have been with us for a very long time), the team spirit, the very well experienced management team and of course our competitive offering."
We present to you Djordje Sosic. Djole is our colleague from Cacak and he has been part of the team for more than four years. He deals with web design and today we will get to know him a little better through seven short questions. So, let's begin:
- Which programming language would you like to learn?
"I would like to learn "all" programming languages. Imagine what the salaries are when you are a full-stack programmer." (laughs)
- What would be the best project for you?
"It has to be as interesting and as complicated as possible, to be a challenge for me."
- What are the biggest challenges in working with clients?
"I think the biggest challenges are to understand what the clients really want, what is behind their demands in order to reach a solution that will satisfy the client as soon as possible."
- Have you ever regretted your choice to become a designer?
"Actually, yeah, when I saw other members of the design team. I realized that dealing with design can destroy you both mentally and physically." (laughs) "I’m just kidding, of course, I didn’t regret it. The job of a designer is creative and dynamic so I recommend it to everyone."
- Recommend a book you've read or a documentary you've watched lately.
"I recently read the book "Animal Farm" written by George Orwell, and the documentary I would recommend is "The Last Dance" about Michael Jordan."
- Photoshop or Illustrator?
"Photoshop."
- Work from home or from the office?
"From home. I got used to it, although I miss the crowd and colleagues more and more. I hope that soon all this about the virus will pass and that we will get back together."
Although physically separated, we found a way to show love to our employees. We celebrated Labor Day together! 💚
