[REBOL] Re: Hitting the learning curve

What is the starting point with Rebol?
This is how I proceed for what it's worth.
I start looking for related topics in the library.
I appreciated most Carl examples which are the more Rebolish (or
Rebolistic?).
I have downloaded the entire Library in a folder named DOC.
I store there all the documentations I have been able to collect about
Rebol: The CookBook, The How-to, Zine articles, Ladislav document. I have
also a special folder named "Good to know" where I store bits and tricks
gathered from my own experience or from the Mailing List.
After getting a more precise idea of the different parts needed, I start a
new text document to write it down. Then I start a console session to test
some points directly. I keep validated piece of code also in my text
document.
Very often, at this stage, some help is required from the ML.
Finally if a GUI is needed, I start a simple layout which is refined
progressively and noted in my text document too.
At this stage, or earlier, my wife call me for this big thing that cannot
wait and I am glad to have all my work written down waiting for me until I
can resume a few hours or days later (depending on the big thing).

Patrick
