I can do the Italian translation (obviously only if my name will be placed as translator)

Of course, every contribution will be acknowledged and translations will also carry the name of the translator.

Looks good so far. Most voters seem to agree that $25 is a reasonable price for such a book. Will make a decision when the poll closes on Oct 28.

Okay, bottom line, approximately 50% of the people who cast a vote think $25 is a good price. My guess is, that represents between 100 and 200 forum users in the potential buyers camp. We are GO for the book. ETA: 1-2 months.

Still working on it, it's about 50% done. I am frustrated with things that work in Delphi but (unfortunately) not in FreePascal, particularly in the GDI area... therefore, I will have to keep it simple. I had initially planned to release the book at the end of December 2009, now the new target date is end of April 2010. Below is the tentative Contents of the book. Will keep you posted.

Introduction to Lazarus & Free Pascal Compiler

Contents

0. Rationale
1. Installing Lazarus/FPC 
2. A typical application project
3. Databases
4. Graphics
5. Text file parsing
6. Multi‐threading
7. Multimedia
8. Application options
9. Distributing applications
