Rebol presentation:
Rebol
is a language younger than Sun Corp Java. In our opinion it is
really promising. The interpreter
Rebol
2.2 has been ported on more than
37 different platforms. The syntax doesn't derived from C; codes and data are
mixed together in blocs which can be evaluated, executed, or communicated. To
communicate, because
Rebol
is an "Internet ready" language , very at
ease in manipulating e-mails, URLs or communications ports.
The Rebol Site Builder Project:
We have chosen this language in order to create a script to generate this web
site. Each participant in the redaction of these pages gives an HTML file that
only contains the main page - the one you are now reading. The script is in
charge of creating frames and menus, dealing with links, correcting on fly texts
to homogenize the presentation, and synchronizing through FTP with our server,
Multimania !
Of course there are a lot of commercial softwares to do this job and more but
their cost ... let's say it: professionals are not for the budget of a young
not-for-profit association. And anyway, it is more important for us to master these
technologies - before creating new ones. Rebol could be a precious tool to impose
the age of the "all communicating".
To know more about it, we invite you to visit the
official site of Rebol
