- The Modern Pascal Developer: A Practical Guide to Mastering Free Pascal, Data Structures, and Object-Oriented Concepts — For Students and Self-Learners Want to really understand programming instead of just copying code from tutorials? This book takes you from your very first Pascal program all the way to building real-world console tools, GUI apps with Lazarus, and database-backed projects you can actually use. Designed for absolute beginners, students, and self-taught programmers, “The Modern Pascal Developer” turns Free Pascal and Lazarus into a clear, structured learning path. You don’t just learn syntax—you learn how to think like a developer. Inside this book, you will: Start from zero: install Free Pascal and Lazarus, understand how a Pascal program is structured, and write your first working applications. Build a solid foundation: master variables, data types, operators, control structures, procedures, functions, and clean code formatting. Work with real data: use arrays, records, sets, enumerations, and linked structures to model real problems, not just textbook examples. Learn modern Object-Oriented Pascal: declare classes, use constructors and destructors, apply inheritance, overriding, interfaces, and composition in practical scenarios. Create real projects: implement mini-projects such as a console expense tracker, a GUI to-do list, a student management system, and a simple bank account simulator. Handle files and text: read and write text and binary files, build a word counter, and persist data safely. Build GUIs with Lazarus: design forms, handle events, connect visual controls to backend logic, and package your applications for others to run. Understand memory and performance: grasp stack vs heap, pointers, dynamic memory, common memory errors, and basic profiling and optimisation strategies. Take the next step: connect Pascal to SQLite, compare Pascal with Python and C#, and follow a clear roadmap for growing as a modern Pascal developer. Throughout the book you’ll find: Short, focused explanations that cut through jargon. Carefully chosen code examples and mini exercises that reinforce each concept. Diagrams and flowcharts to help you visualise program flow, data structures, and object relationships. A practical, project-driven style that keeps you moving from theory to working code. Whether you are: A student learning programming for the first time, A self-learner who wants a structured path into software development, or A curious developer coming from another language and exploring Free Pascal and Lazarus, this book will give you the skills and confidence to write clean, structured Pascal code and ship real applications.
