As far as I am aware there is no inbuilt OS level Maximisation function in the Mac OS. This is one of areas the Mac works differently to Windows.
Having said that you can achieve the same affect often within programs. This is often achieved using command F or command shift F. So in Preview you will find full screen which by pressing command F and in VLC you can put DVDs into full screen mode by pressing command shift F. I may have got these commands mixed up but experiment and you will find the one which works. So generally in the program you are using you need to look in the View Menu and look to see if there is a full screen option or alternatively there may be a full screen button on the toolbar. I believe that a similar result can also be achieved by pressing the zoom button on toolbars in some programs but as I cannot see the screen I cannot confirm that this is the case. I have heard also of third party apps which provide a minimisation function but I have no experience of these. In terms of minimising windows try using command M or alternatively command H to hide a window.
