Hi Everyone,

New Video...  A dive into the Delphi Conversion Tool in Lazarus to see how well it handles migrating a classic Delphi Minesweeper app to Lazarus 4.0 Release Candidate 3.

...new video where I show how to call C functions from Free Pascal — using Raylib as the example lib. (Yes, I do know there is already ray4laz!)  Walk through translating a small bit of C headers, using cdecl, shared libs, and drawing a cube from Pascal.

Hi everyone, Just released a new YouTube video where I take a look at how Pascal has changed over the years and share a small list of some books for learning Free Pascal and Object Pascal in 2025. Watch here:

Whether you're brand new to Pascal, returning after a break, or just curious about what's possible with modern Free Pascal and Lazarus, I go through:

• What’s changed in Pascal (generics, exceptions, interfaces, RTTI, etc.)
• Beginner-friendly guides like Free Pascal from Square One
• Programmer-focused resources like the Modern Object Pascal Introduction
• Official documentation and the Object Pascal Handbook
• Pros and cons of each book/resource

I’d love to hear your thoughts....
