WHO'S BEHIND THIS
Hi – I'm Milan Jovanović. I help software engineers improve their .NET and software architecture skills.
I'm a Software Architect and Microsoft MVP for Developer Technologies with years of experience building large-scale systems.
I've helped thousands of people become better software engineers through my practical tips on social media, The .NET Weekly newsletter, and YouTube channel.
My goal is to teach you everything I learned while building and maintaining production-ready REST APIs (with a dose of pragmatism).
