What is the best ebook for learning algorithms in pascal for newbie?

Marco Cantu's "Essential Pascal" is concise and informative. Marco's website sells it, but there are free downloads at a few sites (the entire text may not be present, but it's still worth having a look at).

"The Programming Language Pascal (Revised Report, 1973)" by Niklaus Wirth is old, but to the point. I don't have a link to a copy of that online, but if you look hard enough I'd bet you'll find it. There is also "Algorithms and Data Structures" by the same author. It's also possible to find that online.

Because of the great similarity of Borland Delphi to Pascal (in particular, Turbo Pascal), you'll find plenty of information in the Delphi documentation. You need lots of free disk space for it, though.
Embarcadero offers free downloads of documentation at
