What are some good modern books on Free/Object Pascal?

This could happen in a Dedicated channel like #bugs.

I don't know.  My experience has been that 90% or so of the fpc/lazarus "bugs" I have discovered belong entirely to my own misunderstandings and assumptions.  Otherwise, it's useful for me anyway to have a general idea of a bug's context, and the current classification scheme provides a little of that. 

Now a category called "frustration" would be interesting...

That’s a valid point as well. A place for discussing bugs could also provide work arounds and preventing things that aren’t really bugs from being reported.

Hi all, I would like to know what are some worthwhile books about Object Pascal that came out not too long ago? I am already reading Marco Cantu, I've also seen a few books that only cover the introduction. I would like to expand my set of books. If possible, more about Free Pascal and Lazarus. I have seen some Delphi books, but they are very old. I would like to read something similar to Prata or Lippman's books, but about Pascal itself. Programming is a hobby for me, but still, I would like to have an idea of modern practices rather than reading approaches from early 2000s.
Thanks in advance!

Hey, you are already reading the Object Pascal Handbook by Marco Cantu and now want to explore the Pascal library with modern materials. Here are some books that I would like to recommend.
1. Object Pascal Handbook by Marco Cantu
2. Getting Started with Lazarus and Free Pascal
Start with Getting started with Lazarus and Free Pascal. It mainly focuses on Free Pascal and Lazarus. With this book you actually learn how to build and run a programme.
Then move to the Object Pascal handbook. It will cover all the foundation topics like types, arrays, etc., and modern features like generics, anonymous methods, etc., and this book will deepen your language knowledge.
Hope this will help you.
