New book: Start Programming using Object Pascal Language

[idog]

I'll spread the link to the book, and hopefully it'll help many Lazarus beginners. Thank you!

Thanks Idog

Oh, and if you want the finished book to be translated to Hebrew, let me know.

[Leledumbo]

I'd like to translate that to Indonesian

For translation you can download the source document from here: http://code.sd/startprog/StartProgUsingPascal.odt.zip

Some Brazilian users have suggested me to sell some translated material from English to Portuguese in LazarusBrasil site. I'm thinking of trying it out. The final price would be something like $ 3.00 to $ 5.00.

What do you think about this possibility?

I would'nt like to be devil's advocate, and don't take my words bad, but, it's sad to see what I'm seeing. Lazarus is a great platform, thath needs help of his community to spread the word, and take a little space in the big world of monopolistic Java/.NET and so on...

You want to convert a free book, about an opensource platform, into something commercial? Here are a lot of people offering efforts to translate it for free to 5 or 6 languages more, and you are speaking about money and credits?.

I don't think is good for the community, it's sad

Note: If you are speaking about a printed version, then I will eat my words, sorry.

If you are speaking about a printed version, then I will eat my words, sorry.

I think that's what typo means (and commonly happens in open source projects): digital->free, printed->printing charge

im suggest to add pointer chapter, and before writing gui application reader must be able to create gui application from scratch (not using form designer).

Pointers are mentioned in my second book, in memory chapter (First chapter)

Then, I have to dinner

The only problem with material about Lazarus is to compete in equal conditions with material about Delphi. If one will pay for a book, he wants to pay for a Delphi book.

As this book covers Object Pascal, it could have a chance.
