Hi I’m Ammaar Aslam, a passionate self-taught programmer from Colombo, Sri Lanka. I’m the founder and author of Code Circuit. I built Code Circuit as a way to help others to learn and improve their programming skils by writing simple and practical articles on programming related topics.
My Programming Backstory
I learned Python as my first programming language when I was 12. I chose python not only because it was one of the most popular programming languages, but also because the learning curve was very easy compared to others. I learned it through free courses and youtube videos. FreeCodeCamp was also a very useful resource for me to learn python (very grateful for these resources for making these free). Since python was mostly used in the backend of applications, I had an interest in learning to build good user interfaces. That’s when i started to learn HTML, CSS & JavaScript properly then React for frontend web development and flutter for mobile development.
My Favourite things
Here is my recommendation list if you are interested in the tools I use, my favourite resources for learning or this website’s tech stack.
- Python, Django - for building backend for websites, APIs, automations, simple desktop apps.
- React, Gatsby - for building frontends for websites.
- Flutter - for building cross platform mobile apps (I’m not as ‘proficient’ as I am with python)
- Check out my /uses page for more tools I use.

- This site’s tech stack
I’m thinking of learning ElectronJS in the future for building desktop applications.I might share what I’m learning through articles, so stay tuned for that.
