[REBOL] REBOL Tutorial
From: nick:guitarz at: 5-Oct-2009 10:03
Over the past year, I've made a wide variety of additions and
improvements to the tutorial at http://musiclessonz.com/rebol.html
(now mirrored at http://re-bol.com ). This text is NOT the original
absolute beginner tutorial at
http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial.html , but a much more evolved
text with far greater depth. The new tutorial is approximately 400
pages of really densely packed text. It includes more than 50
complete applications (many examples are available as downloadable
Windows executables at http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial/examples
(mirrored at http://re-bol.com/examples) - that directory also
contains screen shots and script files of each example). The new
tutorial covers everything in the beginner tutorial, plus an enormous
amount of new material. It's written in a much more concise style,
which should be quick for experienced developers to digest, but it's
still completely accessible to absolute beginners. Most of the
commonly troublesome issues experienced by new users are covered,
hopefully eliminating any real barriers to using REBOL productively.
Many links to other online documentation resources are provided to
fully learn all essential topics, but no third party reference
materials are required to understand any example in the text, even for
people who've never written a line of code. I've done my best to
provide a complete introduction to using REBOL, which I hope will
encourage and enable more new users of all levels to join our
community. ** Please link to it if you have a moment **. Thank you!
PS - suggestions for improving the text are always welcome. As REBOL3
matures, I'll add similar tutorials for it :)
