I've been programming a long time but when I first took up with Lazarus and FPC there were three issues:
- out of date documentation. - for many topics (for example in the LCL) there is formal documentation but not tutorial material. - distros sometimes have quite old versions in their repos. For example my opensuse machine right now is offering Lazarus 2.2. [ fpcupdeluxe was invisible at the time. And on a single monitor machine, trunk version 3.9.9 with its greatly improved docked interface is a blessing. ] Addressing these issues is vital to attract new users. I'm happy to help anyone writing updated tutorial material.
