Steve's Programming placeUsing FLEX AIR REBOL PHP & MySQL
March 10 Steve's Rebol Blog
I've used REBOL this month for a small database application, using REBOL and RebDb for the storage Populating the database was very straight-forward as the data is pretty flat-file based. I'm still using Henrik's List-View control, as it's so easy to use. Still waiting for the update to REBOL - A new Alpha release for version 3 is due soon - I believe! Hopefully we will be able to start using it for serious applications soon. Steve February 18 Steve Thornton's FLEX 3 Blog
Well it's blazing thru February now and the need to do 'paid' work is getting in the way of learning more about REBOL. I've also tried to spend some time familiarizing myself more with FLEX 3 (Adobes soon to be released development system running on the Flash 9 platform. As well as my ruminations about the upcoming release of REBOL 3, I'm having to create a FLEX presentation app and possibly another app after that. So I'm going to comment on my progress with FLEX too. Looking at any new development system you will eventually uncover THE annoyances !! The biggest annoyance with REBOL 3 is 'It's not here!" Whereas the annoyance I've found with FLEX 3 is that they still have not made it easy enough to use databases. They have included an embedded version of SQLite if your using AIR (The desktop part of FLEX) but I was hoping for more! Perhaps a multi-user default SQL database or even I would like a native XML database (easily accessible !!) even in FLEX (Web apps) would get my money!!! Bye for now February 01 Steve Thornton's REBOL Blog

January 19 Steve Thornton's REBOL BlogThornton Software I've learnt an awful lot over the past week! But I think one of the most profound lessons I've learnt, I quote from one of the WIki guides on the language
Every function or data routine I've written this week, I have stepped back from and thought "that's the c# way of doing it!" Rebol opens up wonderful ways of approaching software tasks - I think I'm just entering my second week of de-programming. January 15 Steve Thornton's REBOL Blog
October 21 First entry !!!Hi! I'm Steve
Jane (my wife) and I run a software development business 'Thornton Software' based in Blackpool (United Kingdom)
I've been writing software for about twenty years.
I've used Clipper, VB, C#, Java, Pascal, Modula, Fortran (yes I'm that old!)
I also train accountants how to use Time/Practice Management/Mailing/Accounts/Tax software.
I've recently started using the REBOL development system, so I'm using this blog as a report of my progress
and a bookmark for people to see what you can develop with REBOL.
You can contact us directly, or you will find further information on our website for Thornton Software
