Hi

I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this but here it goes.

A brazilian publisher named Editora Erica (www.erica.com.br) published a brand new book about introdutory computer programming with FreePascal.

http://www.editoraerica.com.br/buscafinal.asp?cod=1369

A (possible) translation of the book's title is: Free Pascal - Computer Programming - Basic Guide of Desgin and Programming on Linux, MS-Windows and MS-DOS

One of the authors, Manzano, is a widely recognized book writter and instructor of basic computer programming as well as operating systems as Windows and office packages like ms-word and such. As far as i remember, Manzano teaches at SENAI, a government-supported teaching organization very popular in Brazil.

Daniel "Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do." (Donald Knuth) "Yes, technogeeks can be funny, even if only to each other." (http://www.boogieonline.com/revolution/science/humor/)" "Man is driven to create; I know I really love to create things. And while I'm not good at painting, drawing, or music, I can write software." (Yukihiro Matsumoto, a.k.a. ``Matz'')

I took a quick look at the website and they do ship world wide.

The only challenge would be understanding the portuguese on their website. There doesn't seam to be an english version of the site.

I placed an order at their European distributor http://www.infobooks.pt; this seems the cheapest option until now. I got an an e-mail back in Portugese for my full address information. I'm currently crafting a reply with help of Systran's translator software. Let's see :)

Yup. I have started a thread in the Lazarus mailing list where only PT-BRs participated. =)
