How did you handle unruly students typing out of turn? (assuming
there may have been unruly students. Trolls are always possible.)
The possibilities for a productive online classroom are increasing,
even for those persons stuck with low bandwidth. On the BeOS, we
have BeShare, which is a file-

I used to teach online during early 90's. I taught C/C++ courses
at CALC (Computer Aided Learing Center) using Genie network
(similar to AOL or Compuserve). We used Roundtable (similar to
chat room) for our classes. At one time, we had 60 students
attending one class. What a fun to see so
Hello, Mr Siegel!
I'm always happy to offer any help I can provide those new
to learning REBOL, as are many on this list. I offer my
hearty encouragement to you in your ambitious endeavor!

I am a non-programmer new to the list. I might be working with Rebol soon,
Hello: FYI
I am designing an on-line class (intro to programming)
for a local school district.
Am using rebol as the language.
Best first choice IMHO.

If I expected my customers may reject REBOL because its popularity, I might
present it to them as a riddle--something like:
Its a written language to computers does it speak
more and more adopt it every week
It runs on over 40 platforms, available for free
but its name has nothing to do with cof
If REBOL goes into open source, you could tell your clients you
are using plain old ANSI C to develop whatever they want. They
need not to know HOW you developed. Pretty impressive, yes?
As I recalled many years ago (long before C came into
existence), I told my "boss" that I was using old Fortra
Ted,
Just to clarify things a bit. Our company uses REBOL for far more than
just for SELMA. I even use it regularly and I'm in marketing.
As for Express, that is a product suite still in early phases of
delivery. Development for demos and prototype projects has proven
extremely efficient i

Terrance,
It is unfortunate your "boss" is so stand off-ish. I have found if you give a
manager plenty of things to do, they leave you alone. When you work alone, you
get more control over what you do.
I discovered this several years ago, I was in a tough situation where my manager

As I'm sure you all know, if you type rebol as a keyword into any jobsearch
engine you will find no jobs anywhere. The situation with Perl is quite the
