I hope we see more books detailing Lazarus and Freepascal, rather than more advanced features. New features are great but really getting the word out is necessary - I've had people laugh when I say I program in object Pascal because I like it better than C++, and others say it's a dead language. It's really a shame because Lazarus\fpc are so good! On Oct 13, 2015 10:47 AM, <[email protected]> wrote:
