Hi .. I am a pascal programmer from the DOS days (yes i am old) ...
can anyone give me some tips on what i should be reading book website
etc. to get up to speed. I can do some things just fine but find my
knowledge lacking so often. I have been reading the freepascal wiki
stuff but find things a bit disjointed...

thanks

You could look for a Delphi book, 95% of the concept applies (minus
generics and some tighter syntax). AFAIK some of us also writes
Lazarus and Free Pascal books. Maybe you could search the forum?

Hi

Try these...
http://www.marcocantu.com/epascal/EssentialPascal.zip
http://www.marcocantu.com/edelphi/edelphicode103.zip
http://groups.google.com/group/marco_cantu/files ... click on
"download all files"...
www.boyet.com - algorithms and low level stuff
also PRIMOZ GABRIJELCIC has a brilliant site set up:

Have fun

In addition to all that, try

http://delphi.about.com/

The Embarcadero documentation site
http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/
has some Delphi 7 documentation especially the Object Pascal Guide and
the Delphi 7 Developer's Guide that can be very useful.

The books are also available directly from the following links
http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/cbuilder6/EN/CB6_ObjPa
scalLangGuide_EN.pdf
http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphi7/D7_DevelopersG
uide.pdf

A lot of the things in the books still apply to Lazarus.

For database development, try

base_application_developers_book.pdf

Thanks All;  everything helped put some pieces of the puzzle together
... I highly recommend essential pascal for the beginner. My gold mine
was the http://www.delphibasics.co.uk site. The newer stuff is well
explained and easy to search for...now i can get down to business.

thanks again
