Red

Red is a color.

It’s also a programming language and basically my language of choice for…basically everything.

Currently? Nothing much will be written here, though that may gradually change.

Red is based on the REBOL language which, in my experience, doesn’t actually explain much to most people. Though that also means that tutorials/guides/information relevant to REBOL is usually applicable for Red.

If you’re vaguely interested in the language, just know that a lot of the learning material you’ll find online is usually accurate but that it’s quite out of date at this point. In some cases, the latest material is from 2018, while Red has already gone thru…quite a few updates. Though the language is easy enough to learn that this shouldn’t be too big of an issue.
This is particularly true of material for REBOL which, well, isn’t 100% compatible with Red, so some changes are needed. Though you can still get a good picture of how it may/will work in Red.

    • Introduction to Parse – At the very least, you should take a look at this…it was actually what convinced me to start learning Red.
    • Dynamic Refinements and Function Application – This may be useful if you’re already learning the language. I know that I would have preferred to know about it about a week ago.
  • Helpin'Red – A site that documents Red features and explains them. A bit out-of-date but still a useful resource. Especially for beginners.
  • Creating Business Applications With REBOL – A document concerned with REBOL, but still somewhat relevant to Red. Not really “beginner” stuff though.
