Pascal Cheat sheet???

[vgo]

Not really a cheat sheet, but useful for beginners anyway: Delphi basics

so, is delphi the same as lazarus then in that it can read and compile the program? I don't want to deviate from the Pascal script language if possible as I'll get flayed when I hand the work in.
What I'd like..is Free Pascal in 'big screen mode'

Well Dalphi and Lazarus both use Object Pascal, just note there are a few small details that are different. Free Pascal can also be used in Delphi mode making it possible to write just like delphi.
also "Pascal script language"?

'Pascal Script language' - suppose that was a bit weak. What I mean I suppose, is that the tutor is very much all about FPC, if I started using TP it'd make huim unhappy, I've had a look at delphi and lazarus and they seem to have differnt commands here and there, I really don't want to / can't deviate from the FPC way of things. Does that make any more sense?

Most tutorials that are for Delphi also directly works with Lazarus. I think the main difference is that Delphi makes programs to Windows only so some use directly WinAPI. Lazarus has workaround for this through LCL crossplatform units. But when it comes to normal programming with components there is propably not a single difference.

ok, that makes a bit more sense, one thing, thats simple as sin but I can't make it work!!!

When I use pascal, I run and then switch screen to see the program running, How do I do this in lazarus?!? I've tried building and running but I cna't find it!?!?!?

Give this video tutorial a good viewing. I'm sure it will explain everything you need to know to get you started. Remember it's a GUI so you'll have to learn the interface.
