Sorry, my bad.
I hadn't got Thunderbird configured right. All mail from this list just showed
the list address in the 'From' field.
Now fixed it.

Using Lazarus doesn't mean you HAVE TO write GUI programs. Just use it
as an IDE. And by and large, any book/resource about Object

I see where you are coming from, I think, but I can relate to the OP.

Good day Joseph,
Pascal is the language I was taught in 1986. I’m still using it.
First question to ask yourself is why and what do you need to program?

On my own, I think starting with Lazarus and GUI apps would be far easier.

Here's a book that's aimed squarely at the non-programmer, and it's
written for FreePascal

It's written by Jeff Duntemann[*] and is a free download.
Give it a look, while "unfinished" it will get you the knowledge you want.

I suggest this:

as far as I remember there isn't a single GUI element used anywhere,
it's all console/writeln, and it covers the "old style" (procedural)
approach Turbo Pascal had, as well as working with more recent concepts

Thanks for the response. that book is aimed to experienced programmers. Not

Hi Joseph,
Besides all other answers, once you have a (Turbo) Pascal basis you can
read "Modern Object Pascal Introduction for Programmers"
[https://castle-engine.io/modern_pascal_introduction.html]. It will
show you old and new stuff.

I write almost all console programs with FreePascal and also use the Freepascal
IDE a lot.
It is compatible with Turbo Pascal and that is what I learned to program with …
because it was modern at the time So turbo pascal books are a good way to
learn Pascal in general, as I had no problem
