Hi All
Could you recommend good introduction and reference books for Object Pascal? I mean books about the language not the frameworks. Thanks.

Look on the web for Marco Cantu's book. I think this is pretty much what you are looking for. Marco has a website where you can read it on-line, I think.

I saw Marco Cantù's Essential Pascal. But the book seems to assume you have you have Delphi ( the IDE). I was looking for GUI free code examples that I can compile with FPC. Are there no other alternatives?

The FPC alternative to Delphi is Lazarus. Check out www.lazarus.freepascal.org and download a binary for your system. Lazarus is similar (but not entirely the same) to Delphi. Normally though (like in the examples from Cantu) you will be able to compile the exact code from Delphi in Lazarus. If you have issues with code, then please let them know here.
