Programming languages
Scratch
Scratch is a visual programming language for children. It was my start into programming, and it taught me few important things about programming.
Python
Python is a general-purpose programming language. It was long time my favorite language, but now I only use it for scripts and small projects.
Java
Java runs on nearly every device. I programmed a few minecraft plugins with it. There was also a time when I used it for Android development.
HTML
HTML is used to create websites. It defines the structure of the website. I used it for different projects including this website.
JavaScript
JavaScript is used to make websites interactive. I made some small games with it.
CSS
The only way to style a website is with CSS. Without CSS, this website would look very ugly.
Typescript
It's a superset of Javascript. It adds types to Javascript, which makes it easier to write code. I never want to write Javascript again.
C++
This is the programming language I have learnt while participating in the Swiss Olympiad in Informatics. After that, I used it for programming embedded systems like the ESP32.
Editors / IDEs
IntelliJ IDEA (incl. CLion)
IntelliJ IDEA is my main IDE. I use it for all my projects.
Visual Studio Code
I use Visual Studio Code as a replacement for Notepad, to edit configuration files and small scripts not worth opening a whole project in IntelliJ IDEA.
Technologies
Git
Git is used to keep track of changes in a project. It saved me a lot of time, when I had to revert changes.
Docker
It's a containerization technology. When a project requires a lot of dependencies or more than one service, I use Docker.
PlatformIO (Arduino)
PlatformIO provides great tools for programming microcontrollers. I used it for programming microcontrollers like the ESP32.
Bash
Bash is a shell. I use it for managing my servers.
Databases
PostgreSQL
When I need a relational database, I use PostgreSQL. It's very powerful and open source.
Redis
Redis is a key-value store. I use redis for sessions and caching.
Frameworks
Angular
Angular is a very powerful web framework. What Homework is built with Angular.
Express
Express is a web framework for Node.js. When I need a dynamic website, I use Express on the backend.
Bootstrap
Bootstrap is a framework for styling websites. First, I used Bootstrap for every web based project. Now I only use it for some projects.
Operating systems
Windows
Windows is my main operating system. I use it for school, programming and gaming.
Debian
Debian is my favorite operating system for servers.
Services
GitHub
Github is a service for hosting git repositories. Nearly every project I do is stored on GitHub. Most of them are private. But I also have some public repositories.
Hetzner
Hetzner is a German hosting provider. I use Hetzner Cloud servers to host different things including most of my projects.
Stack Overflow
I use Stack Overflow for finding solutions to my coding problems. Without Stack Overflow, programming would be much harder.
Play Console
I use the Play Console to publish my Android apps to the Google Play Store. One of them is my app What Homework.
Firebase
Firebase is an app development platform which provides a lot of services. I use Firebase primarily for Push Notifications.
