   Hi,   
      
   I'm interested in learning the Turbo Pascal dialect of the Pascal   
   programming language. Pascal seems like an enjoyable language to   
   work with. I know a little Pascal, but I want to learn as much as   
   I can so I can take advantage of the capabilities of the language.   
   I'm looking for books that cover the basics of the language, as   
   well as advanced programming topics such as memory management,   
   data structures, and possibly software engineering. I don't want   
   to buy too many books, 3 or 4 is my limit.   
      
      
   These are the books that I have in mind:   
      
   "Oh! Pascal!: Turbo Pascal 6.0" by Doug Cooper   
   "Mastering Turbo Pascal 6" by Tom Swan   
   "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" by Niklaus Wirth   
      
      
   Someone suggested that the first two books are the best books on   
   Pascal/TP, and probably the only books that I'll need. They are   
   easy to find used also.   
      
      
   Any suggestions are appreciated!
