This is by far one of the best OOP books I've ever read. The explanation is clear, the examples are plenty and you can learn a lot of techniques and also design patterns from them. The author really knew what he was doing and I appreciate him for writting such a great book.

Ali reviewed Programming the M68000 by Tim King
Review of 'Programming the M68000' on 'Goodreads'

There were a lot of typos which rendered the book hard to read, but the code samples were good. Overall, not a bad book.
Ali reviewed Pointers in C Programming by Thomas Mailund
Review of 'Pointers in C Programming' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
The author failed miserably to explain his own code in a way that the book is rendered useless by his bad explaination. Just getting snd reading the source code itself is more beneficial. Also a lot of typos in the book.

Best available book to learn Lua.
Ali reviewed Object Pascal Handbook by Marco Cantu
Review of 'Object Pascal Handbook' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
There are a lot of typos in this book, which is understandable as the author is Italian, and English is not his mother tongue. All in all, this is probably the most comprehensive book on Object Pascal.
Ali reviewed Lua Quick Start Guide by Gabor Szauer
Review of 'Lua Quick Start Guide' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A good introductory book on the Lua Programming Language. It has a lot of typos, especially in the comment section of the codes, which are not that important, but lowered the overall quality of the book.
The Lua and C codes provided, won't go into much detail, which is expected of an introductory book.

Ali reviewed Learn Pascal in Three Days by Sam Abolrous
Review of 'Learn Pascal in Three Days' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Great beginner-friendly book for leaning the Pascal programming language. I found some typos in the book, which is not a good. About Data Structures, the book doesn't go into much detail and only explains the Linked List (although it is expected for a beginner book.)
Ali reviewed Pascal by Mark D. Goodwin
Review of 'Pascal' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Great resource for learning the basics of Pascal language. It also provides 2 chapters on Object-Oriented Programming with QuickPascal and TurboPascal. Although the book is a bit old.
Ali reviewed Understanding and Using C Pointers by Richard Reese
Review of 'Understanding and Using C Pointers' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
It was a good book much better than the last two about pointers which I've read. It also has brief explanations on pthreads and how to implement inheritance and polymorphic behavior in C much like C++ does.
