C/C++ vs Pascal

[LP]

By the way, Delphi has won two consecutive Annual Members Choice Awards on Code Project for 2010 and 2011 years (see Programming Languages category).

Instead of offering the labs in C only, I will give them a choice: C or FPC. To me that's a no-brainer choice, but I will just let them decide, and recommend FPC for those who have little experience in working with pointers or who just prefer a language with fewer traps. And if they prefer C, be my guest.

Speaking about scaring the students of the programming languages... Why not teaching something modern like C# and XNA?

By the way, Delphi has some interesting CG stuff on Efg's Lab.
