[SR: 1860475], Paperback, [EAN: 9780072122794], Mcgraw-Hill Osborne Media, Mcgraw-Hill Osborne Media, Book, [PU: Mcgraw-Hill Osborne Media], Mcgraw-Hill Osborne Media, -- Our book is the official guide to this exciting new language, published under the REBOL Press imprint.-- CD will contain the REBOL core language on over 50 platforms, a library of sample scripts, and all the code from the book.-- Foreword by Carl Sassenrath, inventor of the language, and president of REBOL Technologies. Sassenrath is the inventor of the Amiga operating system and an industry pioneer.-- Supported by www.rebolpress.com website-- REBOL Technologies is buying 2,000 books to use for promotional purposes., It's easy to get intimate with certain programming languages and not keep a lookout for new and powerful ones on the horizon. REBOL: The Official Guide raises awareness of this fascinating new programming language that is well suited particularly for CGI scripting on the Web. "If you know other languages," the foreword implores the reader, "forget them while you learn REBOL." REBOL breaks the rules of traditional languages, employing seamless machine independence, broad data typing, and denotational semantics--a mathematically based foundational concept. With such an introduction, what self-respecting programmer wouldn't be intrigued and motivated to read on? As REBOL is introduced in the following chapters, its developer's admonition seems less and less like hyperbole. The concepts of vocabularies and series--which enable logical organization of data for use in REBOL--are explained. Such familiar concepts as functions, objects, and data types are illustrated; nearly all of these inspire interesting twists when they are applied to REBOL. A video store example serves as a tutorial on the construction of a sophisticated object-oriented solution that interfaces with a back-end database. Near the end of the book, the focus turns to one of REBOL's more intriguing features: its inherent support for such high-level Internet protocols as FTP, HTTP, NNTP, POP, SMTP, and others. Here, the applicability of the language to the Web becomes obvious. A CD-ROM includes REBOL and the scripts from the book. Whether or not REBOL is the right language for your production-level development, its unique architecture and networkability warrant a serious look; it might just change the way you view programming languages in general. --Stephen W.
