Object Pascal Tutorial, Lazarus Tutorial. As you proceed look for more documentation in the site, like: Object Oriented Programming with FreePascal and Lazarus, Programming Using Objects. As you can see there's plenty of documentation on wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org :). Not sure you'll be able to find any books.. – Abundance

Answer 1

Lazarus - The Complete Guide can be found here.

UPDATE:

• http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Tutorial
• http://wiki.freepascal.org/Howdy_World_%28Hello_World_on_steroids%29
• http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Documentation
• http://wiki.freepascal.org/Pascal_and_Lazarus_Books_and_Magazines

Free book is here. I know this is for Delphi but it will also help a Lazarus newbie very much.

To my knowledge there are also books in german (paid), portuguese (paid), and arabic (free).

Answer 2

The compiler and non visual manuals are here

One can also use Delphi resources to some degree; Essential Pascal is also always a good read, and so are the older Mastering Delphi books from the same author

Answer 3

Marco Cantu's book "Essential Pascal" is a good, implementation agnostic Pascal guide for the Object Pascal dialects of Pascal (Lazarus, FPC, Delphi). http://www.marcocantu.com/epascal/ An older version of the book is available free, and the most recent can be purchased.

'Oh! Pascal!'
