Going through Nick Antonaccio's short tutorial, I entered view layout[ image load read/binary http://rebol.com/view/bay.jpg], based on a couple of his examples. The result is awesome!. This image 
appears in a pop-up window. A complete image view in a single line of code.
One more example: varname request-text/title "Please enter some text" is all you need to request some input from the user, which is placed inside of varname.
Nick Antonaccio of MusicLessonz.com has created a shorter REBOL tutorial. Both this one and his original "toot" or tutorial have been updated as of 2008-02-10.
Also helpful will be the YouTube video series, as I mentioned before..
Head on over to Nick Antonaccio's video links page to find a number of YouTube videos. This has long been an area that I thought was lacking.
Really cool.
I was catching up on The Rebol Week and HMK Rebol Blog, and found out about Steve's blog. Steve is just starting to teach himself REBOL. Take a look at what he was doing after his first week.
Also, the alpha of R3 is out. I’m going to eschew the alpha and probably beta versions, preferring to wait for a stable version with a clear statement of what's included in the purchased version. I’m finding that when I find a product I like, I need to reach into my wallet, as a way of ensuring that it remains available in the future.
If you are at home, or in an environment where you control what is permitted, you can use nearly any tool you wish to automate repetitive tasks.
In an environment where you are not in control, your allowable toolset is limited to what the person in control allows. Carl Sassenrath, creator of REBOL, recently expressed frustration at this limitation. However, in such an environment, you really need to pay attention to those restrictions. Maybe one day, they'll wise up and elevate you to a place where you can decide what to allow. Or maybe not. In the mean time, your best bet is to use the allowed toolset to the limit of its functionality and your ability.
So what can you use? It all depends on what is allowed where you are. Many times, Windows networks already utilize KiXtart for login scripts. This makes KiX scripts a natural thing for that environment. In such an environment, you might also use WSH to run scripts written in JavaScript or VBScript. What else can you use? Do you use Java or .Net in your environment? There are multiple languages available that will run on the JVM, such as Jython, JRuby, Nice, Scala, or Groovy, as well as Java itself. On the CLR, there are languages such as Boo, C#, IronPython, and Visual Basic.Net.
Now go forth and conquer.
