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.

Calling C code from Free Pascal
« Reply #76 on: April 05, 2025, 12:44:39 pm »
...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:

https://youtu.be/j7gR1jt_Mjk

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....

Started a programming series on Green Coding and using Free Pascal as the main language (as is my channel in general all about this). So if this is something that interests you, here is the first video ...

Interesting stuff.

Were there any videos on coding decision trees/nodes?

Tuning your compiler can make your apps faster and greener 🌿 In this one, I take a simple Pascal primes program from 1MB down to 39KB using Lazarus IDE and Free Pascal.
Less bloat. Less energy. Smarter code.

Hey everyone! Jumping into build modes or configurations this time. And a look at assertions as well. If you are interested  here is the link:
