The official FPC documentation can be accessed from here: https://www.freepascal.org/docs.html These are obviously reference documentation, not getting started or how-to tutorials. The documentation is hosted here: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/documentation Issues reporting mistakes/omissions and merge requests with fixes can be submitted here.
Lazarus documentation is hosted on SourceForge: https://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.io/docs/index.html Tutorials for FPC and Lazarus can be added to the wiki ( https://wiki.freepascal.org/Main_Page). Perhaps for FPC tutorials take a look at the content of Basic Pascal Tutorial (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Basic_Pascal_Tutorial) and add getting started topics there. Lazarus tutorials are a bit more scattered, but check here to see what is existing: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Category:Tutorials On Mon, Oct 21, 2024 at 9:05 AM Gordon Findlay via fpc-pascal < fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org> wrote: > I've been programming a long time but when I first took up with Lazarus > and FPC there were three issues: > > - out of date documentation. > - for many topics (for example in the LCL) there is formal documentation > but not tutorial material. > - distros sometimes have quite old versions in their repos.
