Learn to Create Computer Programs - INTRO TO VARIABLES AND FUNCTIONS, AND MORE GUI SYNTAX
Here are links to this entire video series (currently more than 8 hours total):
http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_video_links.html
These tutorials demonstrate how easy it is to accomplish real world programming goals with a flexible and powerful language called Rebol. The video tutorial closely follows the written text at:
http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial.html
which aims to teach average users to program computers to do useful things, without the long and difficult learning curve imposed by other programming languages. If you’re an experienced programmer, it’s strongly recommended that you read the more concise tutorial at:
http://musiclessonz.com/rebol.html
You’ll be amazed at Rebol’s compact code and simple cross-platform usability.

You can put the code in the built in editor. Type “editor none” at the prompt, type in the code, and press the [F5] key to run it. Be sure to type in the rebol header “rebol []” on the first line.

Absolutely right - …
Absolutely right - there’s a section in the tutorial about that specifically. The whole point of the whole tutorial, in fact, is to teach people how to teach people to THINK through solving practical problems using the Rebol language - especially the several hundred pages of real life case studies at the end of the tutorial. Please look a little more deeply before making random comments again. Thanks

In order to post to Altme, join the mail list, and then ask someone to add you. They’re a nice group, and will usually welcome you quickly.

I’m not really sure …
I’m not really sure of the plugin status. I think most of RT’s energy these days is geared towards putting together Rebol 3 (current version is 2.76, and 3 will be a very different and new animal). I expect that most future development work will happen on Rebol 3, so there may be a gap for a while. You’d be more likely to get a reliable answer on the Rebol mail list, and even more likely on the Altme Rebol groups - that’s where most of the Rebol gurus communicate.

I’m really very interested in Rebol if it runs in a browser but the plug in version looks to be two years older than the latest release (and still in beta). Has it been abandoned?

Like, or choose to use? I’d choose to use Python because I think it’s better entrenched, with a larger user base.

Well… I’ll give Rebol a try ^^
Btw, which one do you like more Ruby or Python?

The Rebol community …
The Rebol community is definitely smaller than any of those mainstream languages, and that can make a difference for some issues. Since you’re already comfortable with C, C#, and Java, you’d probably have a little less to (re)learn with Python and Ruby. Their support for all things in modern computing is a bit more extensive, but Rebol handles all my needs well. It’s worth learning as a productive scripting solution - I don’t know of anything else that makes getting work done easier.

Yes, i’ve noticed …
Yes, i’ve noticed that REBOL is much smaller than any other programming language. Im currently searching for a “side” programming language to do some simple programs ( im happy with C, C# and Java ), maybe i’ll try REBOL, but peaple tell me that i should go to python or ruby

Rebol’s language …
Rebol’s language structure is elegant and really enjoyable to write in, and Rebol code is often much more compact and straightforward to create. Rebol is more productive than Python or Ruby by the same order of magnitude that Python and Ruby are more productive than C. The GUI code, in particular, is brilliantly simple compared to anything I’ve seen anywhere else. It’s also a much smaller download, has browser plugin versions available, and many other practical little benefits…

Why should i use REBOL insted of Python or Ruby?
Nice vids, good work.

What if i were to say bending the language is it possible or just a myth?

Every tool has it’s …
Every tool has it’s own place. Python is very popular, so there are tons of tutorials, publicly available bits of code, etc. For some, that may be a very important issue. Also, if you want to work on a particular piece of software, or get a job, for example, at which everyone is using Java, then you’ll need to use Java. But if you simply want to be productive, and get things done quickly and effectively on your own, Rebol is a phenomenal tool that’s hard to beat.

C/C++ are popular …
C/C++ are popular for system programming because they provide precise control of memory and other resources, they can produce fast running executables, and they’re well known by anyone who’s been around for a while. But for simple scripting tasks, you don’t need or want the sort of time consuming overhead they require. Even embly language still has a place in creating device drivers, but you won’t see it used in developing web pages. You also won’t see PHP used to create camera drivers…

Not everyday you see a 12 year old learning programming so today’s your lucky day. :]

Python is very popular, and was made to do many of the same types of work, but I prefer Rebol. Java and C/C++ are most commonly used for large projects, but they require 10x as much code and design time to accomplish the same goals.

great work….do you know other programs for programming, that are good?
