Any suggestions for resources would be welcome, though I have already found some good information on the Free Pascal wiki, which has jogged
my memory.
what kinds of resources??
Tutorials, references, etc, suitable for someone with previous (Turbo) Pascal experience. Not so keen on videos though.

fpc has taken over where vp has left off. im still playing in vp due to the code to some door games is compiled in it and i would like to make it fpc but fpc is still greek to me too

Unecessary crap?
Hi everyone,
Years ago (mid 80s - early 90s), I used to be a fairly proficient Pascal >programmer using Turbo Pascal under DOS and CP/M (on Apple w/z80 Softcard and >Microbee), and have written a number of applications, including a Morse tutor, >which was initially written under DOS, but ported to the Microbee with the help
of a friend who owned one for the assembly code required to implement sound and
timing on that platform.
I haven't written any Pascal for about 25 years, though I did dabble in Java >several years ago and am often scripting in BASH. Anyway, I've got a few small
projects that could do with some code and after discovering Free Pascal, I >figured it would be easier to relearn Pascal than learn something new to me >such as C. Things have changed though since those days! :)
Any suggestions for resources would be welcome, though I have already found >some good information on the Free Pascal wiki, which has jogged my memory.
... My hard disk is full! Maybe I'll try this message section thing.

yeah, screw videos... ummm... the FPC guys will say that most Delphi related >books are ok... some few things might be different but for the most part, >they're ""the same""... also, one of the guys on either the FPC or Lazarus >teams wrote a book which is available but i don't know where or for how much...
i pull the three FPC and Lazarus related mailing lists... there's also a forum
but i can't stand its interface... the mailing list works great for me and >that's where i get most of my help when i need it...
Lazarus is a RAD environment but it is also a good editor environment, too... >help is available from within the editor just like in the TP/BP days... i still
do a lot of procedural coding with some little bits of OOP stuffs... i haven't
done anything at all with Lazarus' RAD capabilities other than a few >experimental things from some document or other i found...
as an aside, i'm looking for mark may's mksrcmsg libraries converted to FPC...
i'm not looking very hard but i do have several projects that would really >benefit from being recompiled with the updated code and being 32bit or 64bit >instead of 16bit... if you don't remember mark's code, it is the OOP library >for accessing JAM, MSG, SQUish, HMB and old EZYcom message bases... i think >there's also some QWK stuff available but that's probably in the sources he >released of his Mythical Kingdom BBS package...

Java is nice.

I'd suggest stick with Pascal then. via fpc.

Wikibooks has some Pascal stuff. Also, the Free Pascal documentation.

Java is nice....for astonishingly small values of "nice". :)
