Rebol for Dummies? [With Rebol for 37 Systems] Paperback - 2000
by Ralph Roberts
From the publisher
With REBOL just about anybody can create cool-looking Web pages that run on virtually any platform. Unlike other scripting languages--like Perl, for instance--REBOL is about as close to plain English as a programming language could possibly be, and it directly handles e-mail, Web, FTP, NNTP and every other protocol, without the need for extra libraries or modules. REBOL isn't hard to learn, but it does pack a slew of details that you'll need to wrestle into shape while building your Web pages. Which is where REBOL For Dummies comes in.
Your complete guide to building powerful applications for all popular Internet protocols, this friendly guide helps you get your message across using REBOL. Author Ralph Roberts offers clear explanations and dozens of practical, skill-building examples that help you quickly master what you need to know to:
- Write scripts that run on 37 different platforms!
- Enable computers, servers, and PDAs to communicate with each o ther
- Build attractive Web documents with ease
- Synchronize database records
- Streamline your e-business activities
If you can turn on your computer and use a mouse, you can use REBOL to create powerful Web applications, and REBOL For Dummies shows you how. In plain English, it covers all the bases, including:
- Markup in general and REBOL markup in particular
- Creating, editing and structuring scripts
- Using REBOL elements and attributes to design and build simple documents
- Advanced coding techniques for building different types of complex Web pages
- How REBOL works with online resources to build and compile fast, flexible online documents
- Using REBOL to structure, build, save and load databases

The Bonus CD-ROM features:
- REBOL 2.3 for Windows, Amiga, Linux, UNIX, Mac, BeOS, and dozens of other platforms

If you can write a sentence and know the difference between a heading and a paragraph, you can build and publish your own Web documents with REBOL. Now find out how in REBOL For Dummies.
