For Free Pascal , unfortunately , I do not have a teaching oriented book . For general Pascal programming , the following book may be useful : https://www.amazon.com/Structured-Programming-Pascal-Winston-Crawley/dp/0138540357/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1477331132&sr=1-1&keywords=0138540357 ( Structured Programming Using Pascal ) For event based programming , the following pages and links in them may be useful : ( Please see my messages from starting the following link : http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/pipermail/lazarus/2016-October/229807.html ) in page http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/pipermail/lazarus/2016-October/author.html especially : http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/pipermail/lazarus/2016-October/229976.html My opinion is that event based programming needs special care . A simulation example may be useful , for example , by using PetriSim sources , adapted to Free Pascal . Thank you very much .
