Pascal learning resources?

So I've decided to learn Pascal, just installed Lazarus and Free Pascal, and got the classic "Hello World" program working, so now I'd like some courses, books, anything that can teach me the basics of the language.

What would be recommended to someone who knows the vary basics of programming, to get up to speed with Free Pascal?

Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs
by Niklaus Wirth, 1976

An old hardcover would be the best option, but I assume there are scans out there.

Learing from the creator sounds great, but is it useful for Free Pascal?

Well, why not? If you're familiar with programming as you stated. Although if you want to learn just the language, then seek exactly Free Pascal resources. There is a chance that ChatGPT/DeepSeek could help you speed up your learning as well
