[fpc-pascal] FPC & Lazarus used for teaching down under

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

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...

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.
