About This Site

Why This Site?

1. When learning Object Pascal with Free Pascal, I found that while wikis were informative, I found them challenging to follow due to my initial knowledge gaps and English being a second language.
2. I discovered many valuable resources for Free Pascal (and Lazarus) and wanted to consolidate them in one place for easier access and quick retrieval.
3. I find the process of documenting itself to be therapeutic and clarifying.

Hence, this site.
