Hi: I want to thank everyone on the list who has contributed to this
thread.
I realize that its main intent is to communicate to Rebol your preferences,
but in the process you've clarified a lot of the issues involved in Web
development for this neophyte. I've thought about asking the group about
the positioning of Rebol. This was unclear to me since I do no web
development at all right now. I develop in Visual Foxpro (hey no
laughing!), but I want to port my firms application to thin client. I've
looked at Java, but to tell you the truth the syntax scared me off. Rebol
of course is a very attractive alternative.
>From my perspective GUI and Database connectivity are equally important.
Ideally
I want to skip the whole HTML, CGI, Perl thing and program in a complete
environment.
