Tutorial with Images

Hi everyone :) I added 337 screen shot images to the tutorial at: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial.html There's also a .pdf version (469 pages): http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial.pdf The makedoc text file is here: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial.txt I left a copy without images at: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial--4-4-08--no_images.html Links to all 68 YouTube videos are here: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_video_links.html I'll continue to maintain the concise version of the tutorial, without any images, here: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol.html http://musiclessonz.com/rebol.txt The "Rebol for Kids" program is at: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_for_kids.exe http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_for_kids.r An old .exe version of the original tutorial is here: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial.exe And downloadable examples from the tutorial, in .exe format, are here: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial_examples.zip Hopefully, the new images will make the tutorial a bit more friendly and interesting to look at :) Please let me know if you have any questions, corrections, etc. Thanks! - Nick Antonaccio

Hi Brian :) Thanks for the thoughts - maybe it's appropriate to divide it into sections now. I had always just wanted people to be able to download and save the whole thing in one shot. It's no biggie to do it both ways... Maybe I'll make a little script to create several versions from the original makedoc source, and then turn that into another case study :) Quoting Brian Wisti <brian.wisti-gmail.com>:

Hi Nick, NA> I added 337 screen shot images to the tutorial at: Wow! Very cool Nick. I agree that it may be a bit long with all those images. I guess most folks are on high speed connections these days, but still... In any case, it's awesome work. Thanks for doing it. --Gregg

Nick, These videos are great! Thanks! One thing you should know about youtube, is if you add "&fmt=18" to the end of a url, it makes it higher quality, so you can read all the text easily (but it comes at a speed cost as it takes longer to load). See the difference in quality between the two vids below http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mgcOIvHRRz8 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mgcOIvHRRz8&fmt=18 Joshua On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 12:40 PM, Gregg Irwin <gregg-pointillistic.com> wrote:

Cool, thanks Joshua :) I never knew that - I added new links to the list of tutorials at: http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_video_links.html And thanks to Jack Seay, they're also available as one single video, instead of 68 separate links, at the site below (thanks Jack!): http://omnisio.com/v/xumrz8rdjhG/rebol-programming-tutorials-by-nick-antonaccio Quoting Joshua Shireman <kealist-gmail.com>:

Thank you. I read the first version some years ago and found it very helpful. I am looking forward to reading the updated version. I always found REBOL extremely difficult for some reason. I think the reason was that I kept looking for things that I assumed had to be there (key words, punctuation, data declarations) and when I couldn't find them I had no idea what I was looking at. Documentation for a normal person (or perhaps a person mentally mutilated by years of other programming languages) is a very valuable service.
