That guy can build some simple apps FAST! It helps that Rebol has built-ins for everything.

Very cool, the examples that he builds are very similar to what I've built when I stated in Delphi (simple chats, word processors, music players) but to course Rebol is much more concise. I wish the controls would look more "native". Currently they look like Windows 3.11. Also... Downloading code over plain HTTP? Not good idea...

For people that are interested, here's a free book: http://www.lulu.com/shop/olivier-auverlot-and-peter-william-...

The new language Red is 98% Rebol compatible and uses native GUI feel. If only it'll get finished and reach 1.0. Still a bit left on the roadmap.

Sounds good. Would you recommend learning Rebol and then Red or just forget about Rebol and start with Red? Not 1.0 means it's not production ready?
