Software Architect

I am Sergej and I am a Software Architect from Germany (AURUM GmbH). I have been developing on Microsoft technologies for more than 14 years, especially in SharePoint / Microsoft 365. With this blog, I want to share my knowledge with you and also improve my English skills. The posts are not only about SPFx (SharePoint Framework) but also about tips & tricks around the M365 world & developments of all kinds. The posts are about TypeScript, C#, Node.js, Vue.js, Visual Studio/ VS Code, Quasar, PowerShell, and much more. I hope you will find some interesting posts. I would also be happy if you follow me. Greetings from Germany Sergej / $€®¥09@
