Last Sunday, I received an email from Nick Antonaccio suggesting his tutorial, Rebol Programming For The Absolute Beginner.
Rebol (official site, wiki) is a multiplatform scripting language created by Carl Sassenrath, the man who created Commodore Amiga Multitasking Operating System. Rebol stands for Relative Expression-Based Object Language with emphasized virtues of simplicity, compactness and availibility in 40 platforms. Its small code size and small footprint and its ability to use a single executable to run the scripts made it possible for the scripts to be run from an USB key without installing anything on the host PC.
Nick Antonaccio’s tutorial is intended for new programmers as well as new Rebolers. It teaches average users to program computers to do useful things, without the long and difficult learning curve imposed by other programming language.
As for experienced programmers, Nick has suggested to check out the final example applications to witness Rebol’s compact code and simple cross-platform usability.
