At last, the electronic pre-release of Chapter 6 of the translation of Olivier Auverlot's "Rebol - Guide du Programmer" (http://www.rebol.com/article/0324.html ) is now available at ( http://www.lulu.com/content/4426599 ) for EUR 2.99.
This chapter starts with a short overview of how to configure and manage Rebol/View desktops to provide a "virtual office". It moves quickly into serious programming topics in a Unix environment covering console data display, handling keystrokes, command line arguments, file access rights, shell access, pipes, sockets, Unix signals and dynamic library calls. A thorough introduction to RebDB rounds out the chapter. The translation of chapter seven, the final chapter, is almost complete and should be pre-released within a couple of weeks. Finally, I hope that the completely translated book will be published in another three to four weeks. At that time, the pre-releases will be removed from lulu.com. The chapters that have previously been released are: Chapter 1 - Discover Rebol in an Hour ( http://www.lulu.com/content/2092020 ) Chapter 2 - The Rebol Language ( http://www.lulu.com/content/2160570 ) Chapter 3 - GUI, graphics and sound ( http://www.lulu.com/content/2175653 ) Chapter 4 - Networking and the Internet ( http://www.lulu.com/content/2160633 ) Chapter 5 - Rebol for Pros ( http://www.lulu.com/content/2845102 ) Regards Peter -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
