Hello everyone,

I’m not sure who maintains the Lazarus IDE or FPC websites, so I thought I’d ask here. I’d love to include a link to both sites on my website,

Reviving Interest in Pascal: Helping Newbies Overcome the Learning Curves

I believe it would be valuable for anyone interested in Pascal. May I have your permission to do so? Or who do I email and request for permission?

In solidarity, Aruna

The wiki would probably a good place.
IIRC there is a category for beginners/tutorials there,

You have big things planned Aruna, Nice !

In addition to Bart's advise you could also opt for adding a signature to your forum profile that links to your/that website and perhaps post in the 3th party announcements subforum.

Good idea.
We all love Pascal.
I started to write books about Pascal (4 until now, but two more are coming) in 2024 I started to post more and more articles on my website and now I started a video channel about Pascal.
I do my best :)

Thanks for the efforts Aruna.
I’d like to say when I was a newbie it was very helpful and encouraging to chat with people who were knowledgeable about pascal.

I’ll be the first one to volunteer to help newbies as I was helped  :)

Apologies for the late reply I have been swamped with recent life and work-related events. I will have a look at the wiki and see if it has a beginner/tutorial section in there somehwere. Thank you @Bart.

Hey @Tron thanks I will add a signature to my profile link, about 3rd party announcement this is yet in its initial stages and not ready for that yet. Once completed I will (maybe ) post in 3rd party announcements.

You may want to link to the Scientific Pascal channel. It is a microblogging service that informs about applications of Pascal and Object Pascal in science, research, medicine and technology.

It used to be on Twitter / X for nearly ten years and recently moved to Bluesky and Mastodon. There is also a publication space on Medium featuring selected stories from Bluesky.
