Call for comments: Rev as a Second Language

[Richard Gaskin]

I'm considering putting an article together for revJournal.com about the 
joys and pitfalls of learning Rev from the perspective of those who 
already had proficiency in at least one other language before giving Rev 
a try.

The challenge here is that I've been using Rev so long that I'm close to 
completely useless for this other than as an editor and to provide some 
structure.  As I envision it, the meat of this article would consist of 
quotes from you folks, or more specifically those of you who came to Rev 
not from a HyperCard or other xTalk background, but those of you who 
never worked with anything like Rev before but have shipped projects in 
other languages like VB, Perl, JavaScript, ActionScript, etc.

So here's an open invitation to the readers of this list:

Feel free to send me an email describing your story of learning Rev. 
Make it as long or as short as you like, and consider including things like:

- What language(s) you used before trying Rev, and a bit about
   your background and experience as a developer

- How you first learned about Rev

- What you liked most about learning Rev

- What you found most annoying about Rev

- Any of the good or bad that's changed over time as you became
   more familiar with Rev

And be sure to include this info so I can link back to your site and 
hopefully bring a few clicks your way:

- Name
- Title
- Company/organization
- URL

Please send these to:  revjournal at fourthworld.com

I'm very interested in learning more about how others see Rev, and think 
this will be a good read for the visitors at revJournal.com.

Thanks in advance.  Feel free to write if you have any questions -
