Ok, now for the most asked question ever...

What are the best books to learn Pascal? 

Are there any good free ones online?

[…] What are the best books to learn Pascal? […]
I wouldn't care too much about that question. You learn programming in any imperative, structured, object-oriented programming language at hand. At some point you do a transition from one to another language, i.e. to Pascal. The rest is “just” studying the reference manual.

My point is, there a lots of tutorials/introductions for Pascal, but I doubt there's any fair and recent OOP-introduction (using Pascal), that'll explain all the principles you need. Since e.g. polymorphism's nothing unique to Pascal, I say you can learn and practice it in any language you'd like, and eventually transfer your knowledge (with consulting the reference manual).
Yours Sincerely
Kai Burghardt

Thank you for the links.  These are pure gold... Actually better than what I could have bought at Amazon.

Not a free book, but I found this to be an excellent resource (very detailed and well written):

I'm having a problem with this. I've done my share of programming in basic-like languages. But I just can't wrap my head around why and when to use object-oriented concepts. Classes and constructing them and ... polymorphism and inheritance and overloading and so on.  Can anyone recommend a concise guide that explains these principles so I'm not just trying to memorize stuff without knowing what I'm doing?

Thanks,
Wyatt
