[REBOL] Rebol Programmer's Guide - Chapter 6 - Rebol for Geeks
From: pwawood::gmail::com at: 11-Oct-2008 8:56
At last, the electronic pre-release of Chapter 6 of the translation of
Olivier Auverlot's "Rebol - Guide du Programmer" (http://www.rebol.com/article/0324.html
) is now available at ( http://www.lulu.com/content/4426599 ) for EUR
2.99.
This chapter starts with a short overview of how to configure and
manage Rebol/View desktops to provide a "virtual office". It moves
quickly into serious programming topics in a Unix environment covering
console data display, handling keystrokes, command line arguments,
file access rights, shell access, pipes, sockets, Unix signals and
dynamic library calls. A thorough introduction to RebDB rounds out the
chapter.
The translation of chapter seven, the final chapter, is almost
complete and should be pre-released within a couple of weeks. Finally,
I hope that the completely translated book will be published in
another three to four weeks. At that time, the pre-releases will be
removed from lulu.com.

Chapter 2 - The Rebol Language ( http://www.lulu.com/content/2160570 )
