I have the book :


https://www.amazon.com/Lazarus-Complete-Guide-pascal-teaching/dp/9490968021
( Lazarus The complete Guide )


You can write a course outline about , for example , "Programming Pascal by
using Lazarus"  from thr above book .


For Free Pascal , unfortunately , I do not have a teaching oriented book .

For general Pascal programming , the following book may be useful :

https://www.amazon.com/Structured-Programming-Pascal-Winston-Crawley/dp/0138540357/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1477331132&sr=1-1&keywords=0138540357
(  Structured Programming Using Pascal )


For event based programming , the following pages and links in them may be
useful :

Please see my messages from starting the following link :

especially :

http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/pipermail/lazarus/2016-October/229976.html


My opinion is that event based programming needs special care .
A simulation example may be useful , for example , by using PetriSim
sources , adapted to Free Pascal .



Thank you very much .
