How to Learn PASCAL
Pascal is a purely procedural programming language that was developed in 1971 to teach students the basic ideas of programming. Named after Blaise Pascal, the philosopher mathematician, it belongs to the ALGOL family of programming languages. In 1993, Borland Software Corporation added object-oriented extensions to standard Pascal to... more »
Meaning of Computer Program
Computer programs, also known as applications and software packages, are the software components that make computers perform necessary tasks. Whatever you may need a computer to do, from basic word processing to complex aerospace design work to surfing the Internet, the computer's ability to perform the required functions is driven by... more »

Object Pascal

Object Pascal refers to a branch of object-oriented derivatives of Pascal, mostly known as the primary programming language of Delphi. Pascal compilers, including those for Object Pascal, generally run very fast while producing highly optimized code.

* Borland used the name Object Pascal for the programming language in the first versions of Delphi, but later renamed it to the Delphi programming language. However, compilers that claim to be compatible with Object Pascal are often trying to be compatible with Delphi source code.

* CodeGear, a former subsidiary of Borland and now a part of Embarcadero Technologies, sells integrated development environments (IDE’s) that compile the Object Pascal code to Windows.

* .NET support existed from Delphi 8 through Delphi 2005, Delphi 2006 and Delphi 2007, which now has been replaced by another language, Oxygene (see below), which is not fully backward-compatible.

* The Oxygene programming language developed by RemObjects targets the Common Language Infrastructure solely. The Oxygene compiler has been incorporated into a new Delphi development solution owned by Embarcadero, named Delphi Prism, which is Microsoft Visual Studio based.

* The Morfik Pascal programming language developed by Morfik targets the Ajax-enabled Web applications. The Morfik compiler is incorporated into the companys AppsBuilder IDE and allows Object Pascal code to be used in implementing code that will execute both in the browser and on the server.

* The open source Free Pascal project allows the language to be compiled for a wide range of operating systems—including Linux (32-bit and 64-bit), FreeBSD, Mac OS/Mac OS X, Win32, Win64 and Windows CE—as well as for several different hardware architectures. The first version of Free Pascal for the iPhone SDK 2.x was announced on January 17, 2009."fpciphone"> Now there is also support for embedded (ARM).

* The MIDletPascal is aimed to the Java byte-code platfor read more at » http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object+Pascal
