Book Description
There are numerous books and resources about Pascal available, but a significant number of them focus on the older versions of the language, lacking coverage of classes, units, or generics.
For this reason, the author has written a quick introduction to what they refer to as modern Object Pascal. It is worth noting that most programmers who use it daily do not typically call it "modern Object Pascal"; they simply call it "our Pascal." However, the author feels it is crucial to emphasize that it is, in fact, a modern, object-oriented language when introducing it. The language has evolved significantly since the old (Turbo) Pascal that many people learned in school long ago. In terms of features, it is quite comparable to languages like C++, Java, or C#.
- It includes all the modern features one would expect, such as classes, units, interfaces, and generics.
- It is compiled to fast, native code.
- It is known for being very type-safe.
- It is a high-level language that can also be used for low-level programming when necessary.
