Hi, I thought I would share this bit of info. I'm not sure what I am more impressed about though. The fact that a long time Delphi developers is [finally] impressed with FPC / Lazarus, or the fact that "pascal" is still being used in some places [in this case, Melbourne Australia] for teaching programming. :-) Well done Peter, and keep up the good work. Spread the pascal love... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Hinrichsen Date: 28 February 2013 09:49 Subject: Re: tiOPF: repository migrated to Git To: Graeme Geldenhuys, Ian Krigsman ...sip... Am taking a bit of a right-hand turn with work - am teaching four classes a week of programming to Year 5 - 9 kids. The younger kids start with Lego robotics & their software, then we move to programming Lego with C, then game programming with FPC. Am very impressed with FPC / Lazarus.

Very good! But I'm afraid if someone thinking if Pascal is just for kids 5-9 years old... not here, but out there! :) Thank you for share it.

"Year 5-9" kids refers to their school year, not their calendar age. In the UK a Year 9 teenager is 13 or 14 years old. I imagine the school year numbering scheme in Australia is similar.
