There is also Howdy World (Hello World on steroids) in a similar tutorial vein followed by Peg Solitaire Tutorial.
I just read these two tutorials, they are very good. If I had found them the time I started with Lazarus that would have been very helpful. I saw that you already linked them to the Tutorial, so thats very good.
My first impression when I saw these was that my tutorial perhaps just clutters the wiki more and by that is counterproductive. I think its important to have a guiding thread through the tutorials and not just having a pack of tutorials distributed over the wiki. So perhaps we can bind them more together.
In comparison to the two tutorials the one I made is quite different. I focused on basic usage of the LCL and left everything else away. Beyond the LCL stuff the calculater and solitaire tutorials describe a lot of details using the IDE and also a lot of language features are introduced, showing a real program structure (and not only a unit1 with event handlers).
My concern is that its easy to get overwhelmed by the combination of the topics. Especially with the language part, as a single procedure is much more difficult to understand, the more "real programming" it contains. On the other hand its important to learn - earlier or later - where to put ones variables in a real program and so on.
-> Any ideas how it could be possible to combine the tutorials, bringing them in a logical and useful order? Perhaps introducing them as alternative "part 2"s?
I think the part begining with "Learning the language" can be extracted as a standalone part ? 3 ?
The idea was to put in a link to a language tutorial there. But I didn't check yet, what is available. As part 3 I had planned a little animation, creating controls on runtime, working on the canvas, using a timer and discussing Parent vs. Owner. Well, a lot would double with the solitaire tutorial, so...
And on the start of a page should be a link to the prio and next lesson. At the end a jumptable to all the lessons. So the navigation is faster and intuitive.
Yes, that would be very good, but I feel its more difficult now as I learnd of the two (excellent) tutorials Calculator and Solitaire.
