As programming environments get more powerful programers get lazy

[Brian Yennie]

William,

I think what you'll find with Rev is a trade-off. Although there are  
some demo stacks floating around and a few good sites, the shear  
volume is much less than more widely adopted languages. It's more than  
there used to be (and growing), but you'll have a lot less luck  
hitting Google than if you were working in PHP, Perl, C, etc.

On the other hand, there is an upside -- this list. The amount of  
"free" code and advice given out here is staggering, and I dare say  
has trained more than a few RevCoders. A lot of FAQ material is buried  
in the archives, and actually explained in more detail than you might  
find otherwise.

So while I agree it would be great if there were more samples out  
there, stick with it and ask lots of questions. Once you get a little  
further in the learning curve, you'll be able to give back with  
answers to others, and thus the cycle continues =).
