Kaj 27-Sep-2012 [108x7] | It allows to write R3 extensions in Red(/System), and there's some support for writing custom R3 hosts in Red |
This solves the problem that it has turned out that hardly anyone wants to write R3 extensions in C. Extensions written in Red are also much easier to manage, because you can cross-compile them, instead of having to set up a development environment on each target platform | |
Currently it only works on Windows, and you need the dyn-lib-emitter branch of Red/System | |
It's not completely tested yet. The do-string call into R3 doesn't seem to work. We don't know yet whether this is a bug in Red/System or a bug in R3 | |
It requires another repository where I'm splitting off common definitions: | |
http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common | |
I'm also adapting my other Red bindings to use this common base, which was previously included in the C library binding | |
AdrianS 27-Sep-2012 [115] | this is so cool |
AdrianS 28-Sep-2012 [116] | I wonder Carl would entertain the idea of reworking the extension mechanism in R3 to allow even lower overhead access to Red/System. Or is the overhead about as low as you can expect it given that R3 is interpreted? |
NickA 28-Sep-2012 [117] | When the source is open, it's possible to do it without Carl ;) |
NickA 6-Oct-2012 [118x2] | RED FUNDING DRIVE, MATCHING FUNDS CHALLENGE: to help ensure that Doc can continue to work on Red without disruption, I'll match funds donated to him by November 1, 2012, up to a total of $1000. |
I wrote a tutorial that makes use of Chris Ross-Gill's Etsy.r module: http://re-bol.com/etsy_api_tutorial.htmlThe focus of this one is all about helping the Etsy API developer team, but by necessity, it teaches all the REBOL basics, along with all the absolute beginner concepts. I'm hoping the Etsy guys will write a blog post about it and help drive some more traffic toward REBOL :) | |
Endo 7-Oct-2012 [120] | Very nice tutorial Nick. |
Robert 7-Oct-2012 [121] | We just finished to setup a public Cofluence wiki test server, where TreeMapper models are rendered in HTML-5. Take a look here: http://s1.saphirion.com:8001/display/TREEM/Treemapper+Demonstration+on+Conluence That's a model that's done with the R3 based editor and published out of the editor directly into a wiki page. The next demo version will include the server information so you can test it on your own. |
Andreas 7-Oct-2012 [122] | Correct URL for the TreeMapper demo: http://s1.saphirion.com:8001/display/TREEM/Treemapper+Demonstration+on+Confluence |
Kaj 10-Oct-2012 [123x7] | I've moved the locations of the Red bindings, dropping the "Red-" prefix from #include paths, and normalising the older bindings with the latest few that I introduced |
The locations of the repositories on the web are unchanged. I need the Red- prefixes there to make the repository names unique in the Fossil server | |
So the following Fossil repository: | |
http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common | |
needs to be checked out in the subdirectory "common" for other bindings to find it. I use a parent directory Red: | |
Red/common/ | |
The Red directory may be named differently, but the other bindings should also be checked out in it, in subdirectories corresponding to their names | |
NickA 11-Oct-2012 [130x2] | The guys at Etsy added Chris's library and my tutorial to their developer pages. https://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/resources/developer_resources I really think there's a marketing opportunity for REBOL, doing these sorts of tutorials for other web APIs |
REBOL publishing libraries and tutorials like this for other popular web APIs. Get a bunch of big web sites linking to REBOL sites, and their developer communities all taking a look at REBOL, and there will be curiosity and added traffic. | |
MaxV 11-Oct-2012 [132] | Published the new R3D library with guide and demo video: http://rebol2.blogspot.it/2012/10/r3d.html , you'll find the same guide on www.rebol.org |
Kaj 11-Oct-2012 [133x7] | I fixed support for push/pull connections in the ZeroMQ bindings for R2, R3 and Red/System: |
http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/extensions/0MQ/ | |
http://syllable.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/syllable/syllable/system/apps/utils/Builder/packages/ZeroMQ-Binding--current/ | |
http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/REBOL-2-ZeroMQ-binding | |
http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-ZeroMQ-binding | |
Also did some maintenance on the R2 binding. Simplified the send/receive interface and added the ventilator source/workers/sync example for parallel computing from the 0MQ guide | |
That's source/workers/sink | |
Kaj 15-Oct-2012 [140x4] | I've started using a Fossil repository to sync and archive test binaries. In case anyone wants to run them: |
http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test | |
This is Red development stuff, so at any moment in time they may be broken | |
Currently most of them work | |
MaxV 17-Oct-2012 [144x2] | I just update the http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=advanced-r3d.r R3D demo, may you test the models on your PCs and give me a feedback if it's all good? With off models I turned off backface culling and it can be hard for some pc... maybe... |
just push "load OFF file" and test the models | |
Kaj 18-Oct-2012 [146x3] | I've added a build script to the above testing repository, to build all my Red examples in one go |
I've added executables for all six current Red target platforms: Syllable, Linux, Linux-ARM, Android, Darwin (OS X) and MSDOS (Windows) | |
I need volunteers to test these examples on their platforms | |
Kaj 19-Oct-2012 [149x6] | For testing some of the bindings, here is information where to get the C, cURL and 0MQ libraries: |
http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl | |
For checking out the complete repository and simply keeping them up to date for new test versions: | |
http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/documentation/how-to-use-Fossil.html | |
I've updated the binaries for the latest Red fixes | |
To get a clue which binding/library an example program uses, look in build.r | |
MaxV 25-Oct-2012 [155x3] | http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/REBOL_Programmingnow it's a good guide on Rebol: what do you think? |
I have to finish to add all "reserved" words description. You may help me if you want... ;-) | |
You can use the following code to make word description entry in the wikibook: | |
