New website design
After a while, I decided to create a completely new website design. Therefore, I recreated the website using HTML5, CSS and Bootstrap. The colour design is based on Google’s Material Design, I hope you like it.
In addition to the existing content, I would also like to add an article section. I may find some time to write a few articles, but my time is really limited because I mainly work on other projects :/

In the end of this video series you should be able to develop your own applications for Windows, Linux and Mac. Moreover you should have understood the concept of programming and the necessary knowledge to continue your journey.
New tutorial: Lazarus Tutorial #6 - The if statement
The if statement is one of the most important constructs of programming. At the beginning of this video I want to give a short overview of this statement and we will use this knowledge to complete our timer from the last video. The goal of this video is to understand the use of the if statement and to teach our timer to measure minutes. In the end of this video series you should be able to develop your own applications for Windows, Linux and Mac. Moreover you should have understood the concept of programming and the necessary knowledge to continue your journey.
New tutorial: Lazarus Tutorial #5 - Timer
In this video we will develop another milestone. To be more specific: our first timer. This application can be used to measure seconds and is known from devices like smartphones. Moreover we will talk about the lifetime of variables. In the end of this video series you should be able to develop your own applications for Windows, Linux and Mac. Moreover you should have understood the concept of programming and the necessary knowledge to continue your journey.
New tutorial: Lazarus Tutorial #4 - The first calculator
This video demonstrates the use of our variable knowledge from the last video. We will create our first small calculator, which can be used for calculating with integers. In the end of this video series you should be able to develop your own applications for Windows, Linux and Mac. Moreover you should have understood the concept of programming and the necessary knowledge to continue your journey.
New tutorial: Lazarus Tutorial #3 - Variables and data types (theory)
This video continues the learning programming series. We will talk about variables and data types. The theory of this video is fundamental for programming and will be used in future videos. In the end of this video series you should be able to develop your own applications for Windows, Linux and Mac. Moreover you should have understood the concept of programming and the necessary knowledge to continue your journey.
New tutorial: Lazarus Tutorial #2 - Hello world!
In this video I will continue the video series about learning programming with Lazarus (Free Pascal). We will create our first application featuring a fancy button and a nice label. Moreover we will build this project to be able to share the final executable with friends. In the end of this video series you should be able to develop your own applications for Windows, Linux and Mac. Moreover you should have understood the concept of programming and the necessary knowledge to continue your journey.
