I agree.  The Rev community (the developers
using Rev) don't take them selves as seriously
as other languages - by that I mean they aren't
jumping on newbie's and telling them to RTFM. Common
with Delphi, C++, Visual Basic etc.

*When* I get the database side if things working the way I want
I intend to post the basics for people to use.  I am yet to
see a big database project in Rev (though I would love to), so
I hope to pay back what I've learned by sharing.  Could take a
while though...  :-)

That's an admirable goal.  I write software for a living (working for
myself) for just on ten years now (worked for ICL and Fujisu as a
programmer
before that) and intend to reach the next level which is cross-platform
development.  I'm keen to see Rev achieve that for me.  :-)
