Hi Everyone,

Another video update. This time I did a little tour of the IDE (main screen at least)... it's amazing how much functionality you can pack into one area like that. Anyways... if you are not that familiar or just looking for something to watch -

🔧 Learn LazLogger Basics

In my latest video, I explore LazLogger in Lazarus, showing how to - (1) Log to stdout (console), (2) Write logs to a file and (3) Log parameters passed into procedures. This is the first video in a series on logging libraries for Pascal.

I've just released a video reviewing MultiLog in Lazarus projects, including installation, setup, usage, and its limitations. If you're looking for a way to handle logging in your Free Pascal projects, this might be useful!

I'm returning to LazLogger to see if I can easily add what was missing and whether I was too critical in my previous take. Is LazLogger already more capable than I thought? Let’s find out!

File streams provide a powerful way to handle file input and output in Object Pascal. In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to use file streams in Free Pascal with Lazarus, covering reading, writing, and modifying files ... Here is the link:

Back with a beginner friendly video - this time an introduction to string lists and exploring how to create, manipulate, and load from and save to file...

In this video and as promised in the last video, I showcase an implementation of a simple dictionary application using a string list in Free Pascal and the Lazarus IDE. Link to the video is here -

In this video, I dive into the basics of unit testing and show you how to write simple test cases using Free Pascal and Lazarus. We go through an example program that calculates the mean of a set of numbers and manually check if it works using some basic testing techniques. This is the first part of a two-part series, and in the next video, I’ll show you how to set up the same tests using Free Pascal’s unit testing framework.

A dive into FPCUnit, the unit testing framework that comes with Lazarus and Free Pascal - and converting a previously written test program into an FPCUnit test suite, making the testing process more structured and efficient. Check out part 1 https://youtu.be/aR8zHd_mSjg for information on determining test cases.

After a recent cyclone, I wanted to build a weather app but ran into SSL issues. Enter FPCupdeluxe—a powerful tool for managing Free Pascal & Lazarus versions with ease ...

Before the next video, I just wanted to thank everyone here who have watched, sub'ed, replied, commented on my videos on YouTube. I now have 1K users! Thanks again.

Started on a weather app using Lazarus and Free Pascal, and I put together a tutorial for anyone interested in building something similar! In the video, I go through:

• Getting real-time weather data from an API
• Parsing the JSON response in Free Pascal
• Creating a simple but modern UI with gradient colors

Would love to hear feedback or see what others build with this!

Despite the fact that I do not like too much to watch various tutorials, acct your videos are pleasant to watch, you explain various issues well.

As for the last video - this code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Location_name := jObject.FindPath('location.name').AsString;

very often ends up with “Access violation” - it is enough that the specified path does not exist in the json.
It's a good habit to check beforehand if the specified path exists, or you can use automatic json deserialization: https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Streaming_JSON

Some time ago I wrote a piece of code to get the weather from OpenWeatherApi: https://github.com/paweld/miscellaneous/tree/master/openwaether_api
