The library's got nothing. The bookstore (physical)'s got nothing. The bookstore (online)'s only got very expensive or entirely useless books. I even tried Amazon, which is how I ended up with this piece of garbage that's just printed PowerPoint slides. Can anyone recommend some free online learning resources for coding/programming? I want to learn Pascal. #coding #programming #courses #pascal #compsci

    @ZenHeathen@beige.party not free but have you tried Udemy? I've taken some quick online courses there before for only $25 a piece (on sale)

    @ZenHeathen@beige.party Check out Anna's Archive. Pascal used to be a major teaching language up until the late nineties or so. And once you want to see what's inside the bear, there's some books by Wirth himself showing how o implement Pascal in Pascal.

    @ZenHeathen@beige.party I would recommend any of Wirth's books. Online resources: * https://freecomputerbooks.com/langPascalBooks.html * https://www.getlazarus.org/guides/intro/ * https://www.getlazarus.org/learn/tutorials/ * https://bitsavers.org/pdf/borland/turbo_pascal/ For used computer books I usually search on ebay or abebooks.com. #pascal #tutorial #fedihelp

  • @ZenHeathen@beige.party I can only suggest a 1987 book, but here it is anyway: Illustrating Pascal by Donald Alcock: https://www.librarything.com/work/566880/t/Illustrating-Pascal If you're in the UK, the Oxfam online bookshop has a copy
