[REBOL] Re: Dialecting Tutorial

Hi Behrang,
BS> Where can I find some online dialecting tutorial?
Brett Handley has written a PARSE tutorial:
http://www.codeconscious.com/rebol/parse-tutorial.html
though it may not be what you had in mind as a "dialecting" tutorial.
The Core docs have good info on PARSE as well. One of the best sources
is this list. The library has some nice examples posted, but there are
PARSE gurus here that can answer specific questions, and sometimes
provide solutions to specific problems.
When you get ready to dig into some code, VID is a great example of
what you can do--but it's not light reading. It's not that there's a
lot of code, but it is very dense.
As far as tutorials on dialect (domain specific language) design, you
could use non-REBOL resources for that:
http://homepages.cwi.nl/~arie/papers/dslbib/
Some other links I had to some related items seem to be dead :(, and
the books I have relate to the implementation aspect, not the language
design aspect.
