Hello i saw the slashdot article last week, and got interested in rebol. As a programmer where do i start ? I already downloaded the core file. i'm on linux ( that shouldn't really supposed to matter, should it ?) regards sridhar -- Love at first sight is one of the greatest labor-saving devices the world has ever seen

Shaggy, You need to get the core help files from the website (www.rebol.com) and start studing them. And welcome to the REBOLution! http://www.rebol.com/docs.html#core Paul Tretter

Also, the script library has lots of examples. This ML is also a great resource. Plan on doing some digging and experimentation to begin with. Happy REBOLing! --Gregg

Hi, I would suggest you to learn Core before jumping in View, a lot of View will be more understanable once you have learn Core... Going through the Core manual at Rebol, then the scripts. If you want to go deeper, the Rebol/Zine articles are interesting and Ladislav's rebsite articles are a must (available from View's website) IMHO if you want to understand the inner workings of rebol. eRebol and Rugby are really interesting tools for a Rebol developer. Also, consider refering to the Mailing List archives at eScribe.com (search for rebol). Don't be afraid to ask questions. Try to buy Rebol The Official Guide. As a book, it'll teach you rebol while building a distributed database management system ;) It's not perfect, it has strong chapters covering almost everything. However, I have personnally found some passages, paragraphs to be distractive from the purposes of the chapters. But this may be because my main tongue is french... But otherwise it's a great book and useful book. Best, Chris
