Why pascal?

Modern "Object Pascal" is a cool language for desktop application development with its beginnings in Turbo Pascal of the 1980's. The executable code is self contained, small byte footprint, does not require .NET to be installed on the computer, and is highly portable. The language supports object oriented programming (OOP) or procedural programming.

I suggest using Dephi Pascal Community Edition for student and hobby programming since it is a free fully functional IDE. Note that the community edition can only support one language at a time so you have to uninstall C++ to use Pascal. Dephi supports cross-platform development on Windows, MacOS, Android, and IOS.

Let's give it a try!
