Wow, it looks like I’ve landed in the right community to get my feet wet in
programming! Much thanks to all! I’ll dig into these resources and I’m sure
they will take me several steps down the road.

One more link: in 2008 Slava Pestov (the creator of Factor) gave a talk at
Google about Factor (as it existed back then), it's interesting and a good
introduction to some of Factor's interesting and somewhat advanced features.

OK, I’ve worked through Your First Program and gotten exposure to a few
concepts (and had fun!). It would be nice if there were a series of such hands
on tutorials leading me through further steps in my programming education and
factor education. I don’t suppose that is the case though. I will
Usually you can press the Fn key and then F2 if it’s a dual-purpose button.
Apple doesn’t think we need Function keys and keeps trying to make them harder
to use. (I use a MacBook also).

I found out how to fix that in Mac OS Preferences, so I’m ok on that now.

OK, back with my next question, still working on ‘first program’. By the way
I’m loving the documentation. OK, my question: pressing F2 from the listener,
on my stock Mac keyboard, give the ‘Brighten screen’ function rather than
reloading changed files. For now I’m just using “palindrome” reload

I’ll be back with more questions soon.

You mounted the Factor DMG, which is normal, but it is read-only, so you

somewhere else like /Applications and then it should work fine.

Hi,
I have installed Factor on Mac OS 10.13. I'm trying to work through the Your
first Program section. When I do: "palindrome" scaffold-work, I get the
following error:
Unix system call “mkdir” failed:
Read-only file system (30)
It was called with the following arguments:
"/Volumes/factor/factor
12 matches
