I put together most of my retrocomputing bookshelf while learning Intel 8080 and CP/M programming, which reflects in the selection of titles. For more great photos of retrocomputing bookshelfs see:

Trying to port Mario & Luigi (1994) by Wiering Software from Turbo #Pascal to #FreePascal trunk (i8086), ofc on #DOS: https://wieringsoftware.nl/mario
Posted on https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,71748.html but got nowhere
I can build it on FPC, but can’t run. Removing call to ReadConfig shows gfx issues and input gets messed. I can’t find a way to debug the realmode properly
May I ask heroes from my feed for some helping hand? @foone @wyatt @root42 @nina_kali_nina

Jeff Duntemann is a longtime technical writer and author, and he recently announced a free ebook about programming.
Jeff's "FreePascal From Square One" is a distillation of several of his other #Pascal books, and an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to learn about #programming
FYI, FreeDOS includes FreePascal!
Here's an interview with Jeff:

Updated for Haiku 64bit: Lazarus 4.0.
Lazarus is a Rapid Application Development Tool for Free Pascal.
Install or update it with Haiku's application HaikuDepot or the Terminal command pkgman.
For this I created/updated a local script (partly based on how Fedora uses it):

UCSD Pascal In Depth: Code files
Unlike text files, the code file format is well described in the Apple Pascal Operating System Reference manual. So decoding a code file should be really simple, right? Let's take a very simple "Hello World" program…

UCSD Pascal: In Depth 3/n
Part 3 - File Formats (text)
What kind of system has a "file format" for text? If you've only worked on modern systems, the idea that a "text file" would be anything other than a bunch of unorganized bytes is probably pretty foreign....

It’s not in fashion, but if you’re at all curious about Pascal, Jeff Duntemann has just updated his tutorial book, FreePascal from Square One, and released it for free. See http://www.contrapositivediary.com/?p=5399 for details; the book is available from http://www.contrapositivediary.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FreePascalFromSquareOne-5-7-2025.pdf and you can visit https://www.freepascal.org/ for info on FreePascal, and https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ for the Lazarus IDE — both are probably available in your favourite distribution (apt install lazarus in Debian and derivatives).
In 1979 BYTE magazine published The BYTE Book of Pascal, an anthology of articles about the language, comparisons with other languages, and lots of source code of programs ranging from Pascal compilers to utilities and games.
A fascinating account of an era when Pascal was still relatively new and promising and programmers were discovering what it could do.
