[REBOL] Re: What's Up Rebol?
snip Why is the book Rebol The Official Guide called The Official Guide? Because it was officially blessed as such by RT. In my opinion (to repeat the disclaimer) that blessing may have been considered a good compensation for someone off the payroll taking on the challenge of writing a manual. I don't know about the name compensation part on the above bookg but I spent about three very hard, very immersed-in-REBOL months of my life writing REBOL FOR DUMMIES. I don't regret it. I hope my writing reflects the excitment and potential I see in REBOL and I continue to support it, talk it up, and use it myself on a daily basis. ... REBOL still has a long way to go in catching on, but the enthusiasm of those of us using it should help in achieving that goal. Meanwhile, keep on REBOLling. --Ralph Ralph Roberts, author REBOL FOR DUMMIES http://www.rebolpress.com/rfd/about.html (autographed copies still available by ordering through the above link) -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.

I've did PDA development for the company I work for and I'm currently exploring Rebol as a way to develop small utilities as a scripting language. I'm sure Rebol would be a great pda language : it's fast, the runtime is small, it's multiplatform and it does a lot of things with less lines that I'm used to ;) From an idea in the subway, to the coding on the pda right away, and to further develop the script on my desktop is really neat. It's become a way for me to test things out when I'm on the road ! The fact it has some OOP support let me try things and see if they would work either under Rebol or another language. Strangely, it's implemented faster under Rebol ;) btw, I live in Quebec, Canada !

[REBOL] Re: REBOL + PHP
I have run tests on my big booklist database using both PHP and Doc Kimbel's drivers. Since PHP uses an Apache module, it's definitely quicker. However, the Kimbel/REBOL conbination is so much EASIER. Once REBOL gets an Apache module in production, I think we'll have a REAL solution.

[REBOL] Re: REBOL + PHP
To achieve the sort of flawless operation that your site has would require not just the stability of Rebol but also of some well thought out code. If you reflect on the operation of your site over the last nine months, do have you any thoughts about what makes a stable (or non-stable) Rebol cgi script? Or indeed any other reflections. Thanks, Brett. A very good question, Brett, and one that caused me really to think. I use REBOL for lots of stuff. While I've been programming in various languages for over 20 years professionally, I am still more of a writer and publisher than a programmer. We are a small company expanding explosively with far too few people (and I'm the only programmer). I don't have a lot of time to spend "polishing" code. If I need a script, I usually need it by yesterday. So, far too often, my code is nonelegant, even (yes, I admit it) sloppy. But it gets the job done. Now I've never thought about REBOL in this context before, but that kind of usage is a true torture test of any language. My two major tools in the hundreds of websites I maintain and write web applications for are REBOL and PHP. I am equally sloppy (to put it nicer, "rushed") in both languages. On consideration of the results, I find REBOL is more reliable. Let me sum this up by way of an analogy. Back in 1968, I was in the infantry in Vietnam. We carried M-16 rifles, which was then a new tactical weapon and a lot of us troops were complaining it jammed all too often. In fact, several guys in my unit were using captured AK-47s, the Communist assault rifle stamped out of old rice cake tins up in China (or so it looked). But the durn thing was reliable. So this representitive from Colt Arms (a civilian) came out to my outfit in the jungle one day. He gave us this great song and dance about how reliable the M-16 was, yada yada yada. To top it off, he throws an M-16 into a pool of muddy water. Now I'm sure this demo worked flawlessly at all the other places he'd been, but when he pulled the rifle out and attempted to fire it, the sucker essentially embedded its first round in the firing chamber and he couldn't clear the weapon. A bad, bad thing to have happen if you are in the middle of a firefight. Well, American troops being American troops, some smart ass (wasn't me, but could've been) tossed a captured AK-47 into the same muddy pool. Plucked it out, and rock and rolled through a whole magazine of ammo without a glitch. Needless to say, confidence in Colt's baby was not intensified. That's how I perceive the difference between PHP and REBOL (and ASP and ColdFusion, et al). In the middle of a firefight (like I GOTTA get an application up and running TODAY) I reach for REBOL. If I have the leisure to sight the weapon in, assume an approved firing position, and plenty of time to snap off lines of code well, yes, there are targets PHP is better suited for, but this is seldom true in combat or making a small company profitable on a shoestring budget. Usually, I have no time but a desperate need, so (like our rifles in Vietnam that never left our sides day or night) REBOL is the one I sleep with. And like the rifle, it saves my butt from time to time. That's the difference. Of course, it always helps a lot if you know which end dispenses the bullets or code. --Ralph Roberts author REBOL FOR DUMMIES buy it at http://rebolpress.com this email (c)2001 Creativity, Inc.

Congratulations, Capitaine Coussment! Ralph Roberts, CEO ALEXANDER BOOKS/ Creativity, Inc. $5 Blowout special on Stan Veit's HISTORY OF THE PC http://1-b.net/historypc.html while quantities last! Hi REBOLS, I would like to proudly announce the production release of the new Belgian Armed Forces Recruiting Assessment System, the CyberCAT (Cyber Computer Aided Testing). Since January 2001, 1st, all applicants wanting to join the Armed Forces are being submitted to a serial of psychotechnical tests, which will determine the intellectual potential and give an image of the personality and the knowledge. The core system has been written in REBOL and the GUI is DHTML, Java and Javascript -based. The data are kept into a (first try but functional) REBOL-made OODBMS. The product is used in all the 12 Recruiting Centers (called INFOSERMI) on the national territory and into the Selection and Recruitment Center in Brussels. We were able to create CyberCAT in less than 6 month, having just an expertise with the previous system (written in PowerBuilder and SQLServer based) and a procedural analysis. I would want to address a special thank to Mr. Carl SASSENRATH for the creation of REBOL, without which we should not have been able to achieve those results (certainly not in such a short time). Many thanks to all those from RT and from the mailing list who answered to my questions: your knowledge's and best wanting have made our work a lot easier ! Long life to REBOL !!! Capitaine C.

[REBOL] Re: REBOL in PHP
Haven't seen you on the list for a while! Glad to have you back! chaz I've been lurking, Chaz, while working on other projects. But I read the REBOL list every day and, more importantly, I use REBOL every day. Great stuff! --Ralph -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] REBOL in PHP
Quick tip:
In my book REBOL FOR DUMMIES (order it at http://rebolpress.com), I show how
PHP code embeds in REBOL scripts. Ah, but what if you want to call a REBOL
script from within PHP code? If your server is Apache and runs PHP4, it's
very simple:
?PHP
virtual ("cgi-bin/banner.r");
?
Why would you want to? I am a firm believer in hybrid programming--combining
the strengths of two or more scripting languages for a greater whole than
either of the parts can provide. In specific, while REBOL blows PHP away in
most aspects, PHP provides exceptionally powerful MySQL (and other SQL)
support. So the intermixing of scripting languages often gives a quick and
elegant solution.
Opinions welcome.
And you can always demand a recountg.
