BeginnersGuideToPascal
The Pascal Language
Pascal was formed from ALGOL, a language which was made in hopes for use in scientific oriented operations. The developers made ALGOL platform-independant for more freedom. Because of ALGOL's lack of mobility, everyone migrated to Fortran.
Dr. Niklaus Wirth released Pascal, an improvement of ALGOL in 1971. Pascal was never meant for professional development, rather for learning use. Today, Delphi and Kylix have revolutionized Pascal and Windows programming, letting you not have to write hundreds of lines of code to get a simple window, like you would in C/C++.
Learning the Language
Pascal has gone pretty dead since Delphi. And it is hard to find resources on it. However I can recommend an excellent tutorial. Click here to read probably one of the best online pascal tutorials ever. Pascal shouldn't take you long at all to learn, a week or two at the most, maybe more without any previous programming expierience.
