Hi Folks!
There is a book in German language about GNU-Pascal available at Wikibooks. See http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU-Pascal_in_Beispielen
There is a publishing company, who is going to sell this and some other books from wikibooks. The money will be donated to the wikimedia foundation.
I do not have the time, to step through this book again and fix all those things, which might have changed or should be rewritten. If someone would like to take this job, feel free. Translators are also welcome. Without your help, this book becomes more and more outdated and not worth publishing.
I quickly looked at the book (and especially at the examples): it seems that examples are adjusted to newest GPC version. My impression is that most of the book uses just standard constructs, so there should be little need to update them. Of course, before publication it is better to run examples trough compiler (preferably trough multiple versions of the compiler)...
It seems that there are some constructs are missing: OOP, structured value constructors, ISO modules. If the goal is to have a reference book one should probably also include many builtion routines. OTOH if the goal is to introduce people to programming using GNU Pascal, then author chooses what topics to include, and the choice made looks reasonable.
