Hi, my name is Maxim Maeder, a young programming enthusiast looking to have fun coding and teaching you some things about programming.

My Programming Journey
How I started
I started to program in the last year of Highschool (Volksschule here in Switzerland) with webtigerjython, a web-based Python interpreter to teach children programming with a simplified version of the turtle library.
I had a lot of fun learning all the concepts and even made a game with this simple Interface. Later, I also learned Pygame and made some games with it.
Later, I got several Books by Al Sweigart and Eric Mathes, like “Automate the Boring Stuff With Python” and “Python Crash Course”.
My First Real Website
When I started my Internship, I got into web development, where I learned about HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. I like Web Dev because it’s easy to get into, and you can share your stuff better than Python.
So I made my first larger and Public Website in October 2021. Quuli.ch is a German quiz website where my friends and I added questions. Despite not knowing the best practices, I had much fun working on this project.
Learning, Learning, Learning …
For the next year, I just learned about Concepts and Functionalities. In January 2022, I started writing articles for two Publications about Python. I even earned a little money here which made me very Proud. In the Summer of 2022, I started my blog, documenting my Projects and hoping to teach you something.
Writing articles is rather hard, but I’m having a lot of fun, and I hope I can teach you something new!
Then in February of 2023, I made my own WordPress Plugin to manage my articles hosted on Github as Markdown. I also created a fully custom classic theme for my Blog.
That’s It for now. Let’s see how this continues 😃 …
