Marinko Spasojević

Hi, my name is Marinko Spasojevic. Currently, I work as a full-time .NET developer and my passion is web application development. Just getting something to work is not enough for me. To make it just how I like it, it must be readable, reusable, and easy to maintain. Prior to being an author on the CodeMaze blog, I had been working as a professor of Computer Science for several years. So, sharing knowledge while working as a full-time developer comes naturally to me.
