I think Python is better suited to beginners for all practical purposes. It is simple and you can almost immediately start using it to learn programming concepts with a basic interpreter. My main worry with Pascal is that you may never take it outside the classroom. Martin.
I Agree with Martin 100% Go with Python. Kelvin www.likechapaa.com <http://www.dukapress.com>www.dukapress.org On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 11:10 AM, Martin Chiteri <martin.chiteri@gmail.com>wrote:

As much as passion stands pascal stands with structured programming if that is where the walls end!

Pascal was invented as a language to teach students structured programming languages. A popular dialect, turbo pascal was part developed by anders Hejlsberg who went on to design delphi and .net
After coding on delphi for close to 10 years,its a language I would recommend to anyone who wants to develop a career as a Kenyan software developer.
