[REBOL] REBOL on-line ordering Re:(2)
From: ryanc:iesco-dms at: 15-Sep-2000 9:07
I recommend the "REBOL: The Official Guide." It starts out easy and works its
way up. Aside from the first several pages, it is mostly easy reading.
Interestingly, it covers the same or more than my other introduction type
programming books.
So you know, the Dummies books I have read have four advantages:
1. Get your feet wet, teaching you how to perform key features.
2. Instill confidence
3. Provide cute little tips and gotchyas.
4. Keep you awake with an easy reading and entertaining writing style.
Keep in mind that everybodies a dummy in some subject, and everybody was once a
dummy in every subject.
