What are good Lazarus / FPC resources?

Question

I want to learn how to develop applications in Lazares, but I need resources, preferably books, for Lazarus.

Keep in mind that I know 0 Pascal. Thanks.

Answer 1

Lazarus - A complete guide can be found here .

UPDATE

• http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Tutorial
• http://wiki.freepascal.org/Howdy_World_%28Hello_World_on_steroids%29
• http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Documentation
• http://wiki.freepascal.org/Pascal_and_Lazarus_Books_and_Magazines

Free book here . I know this for Delphi, but it will also help Lazarus newbies a lot.

As far as I know, there are also books in German (paid), Portuguese (paid) and Arabic (free).

Answer 2

The compiler and non-visual tutorials are here.

To some extent, you can use Delphi resources; Essential Pascal is also always well read, as well as old Delphi mastering books from the same author.

Answer 3

I found out using a book

"Oh! Pascal!

. Clear and simple - very good.

Answer 4

Marco Cantu's book, Essential Pascal, is a useful Pascal agnostic guide for Pascal Object Pascal dialects (Lazarus, FPC, Delphi). http://www.marcocantu.com/epascal/ An older version of the book is available for free, and the latest can be bought.
