New Free Pascal tutorial! This one explores how to use TTimer and the Paint event to create a smooth breathing animation in Lazarus. It’s a fun little GUI project and a great intro to animation in Pascal.

Sorting a DBGrid in Lazarus should (!) be easy... (a) write code or (b) just add a component and avoid writing code. Done it before. But it turned into a much bigger experiment!

Inline variable declarations in Pascal — here’s what I think about this modern tweak and how it fits (or not!) with Pascal’s goals. Worth the change or just extra noise?
