I've been meaning to try out rebol (or red). I think it might be the perfect fit for my next project.
I've downloaded and tested out red 0.5.4, and REBOL/View 2.7(http://www.rebol.com/download-view.html)
However, there are a couple of roadblocks for a complete beginner to rebol:
Red seems to be still in alpha so it is out of the question
There seems to be 3+(?) branches: REBOL3 - what is the difference between the different branches? I'm not sure what to start on
Most of the documentation on the internet is for rebol 2 and documentation explaining the differences between rebol 2 and 3 is.. non existent? (case in point: parse is different)
So, my question is, if I were to develop a (Windows) gui application with http access (including http authentication) where should I start?
Should I use rebol 2, rebol 3(ren c), or red?
p.s. first question ever!
Red is in alpha so you've already excluded it. Rebol 3 with view is not supported by anyone as far as I know. So this leaves you with Rebol 2. I think you can still purchase a license for the SDK. And there are many people who can answer support questions.

I want to implement a Thunderbird-Addon and already found information on the mozilla web pages regarding Addon Development. However, some of the information is rather confusing, and thus I have some more specific questions:
1) Are Firefox Addon development and Thunderbird Addon development related? Some links may suggest so, others are indicated as "outdated"...
2) On the Mozilla web pages there are infos related to addons for Thunderbird 2,3, or 5. Isn't Thunderbird at version 31 currently? Probably I missed something here.
3) I want to extend the tagging mechanics in thunderbird, e.g. allowing relationships between tags, tag hierarchies etc. For that I would have to extend the existing data model. Can I do so?
4) Is there a good overview of the actual data model? Before I start programming something, I'd like to see which parts I have to touch and which I can leave alone.

I am the developer of the WordPress plugin called WP Retina 2x. It works really well - worked a lot on it - but something bothers me.
The well-known trick to detect the Retina Displays on the server-side is to use a cookie based on the window.devicePixelRatio value. It works perfectly but I consider it to be a workaround. More annoying, you cannot know whether the display is retina or not BEFORE generating the HTML (on the first visit).
We have many HTTP headers available so why the browsers just don't simply add a new one? We could have a Accept DevicePixelRatio (with such values as "2;1" or "1" by default - we could even have a "4" in the future just to contradict Steve Jobs :p) and we wouldn't need a cookie anymore. The whole workflow would be much cleaner. I also believe the server should know the technical details about the client and let the user identity or preferences to the cookies.
I have no idea how to promote this idea at this point, but first would you tell me if this is a good idea? If yes, how could we have the browsers implementing it? (I guess it wouldn't that easy but we need a starting point). Or maybe... would you have a different idea completely?

I'd want to create a growing database in which the user could add new info in this case different integers and I don't really know how. I've started a "Master Detail" application but when I add different elements to the table they to be mutable and different. So I want the code to do that.
Sounds like you really need to start with the basics; the introduction to Objective-C followed by intros to iOS or Mac OS X development. Work through the basics first.
Then grab yourself a guide to Core Data.
Would you mid giving me a tutorial or something to learn it
A bit broad of a question for StackOverflow. I'd suggest you start at either of the Getting Started guides specific to iOS development or Mac OS X development, as you fancy.
In terms of cars, your question would translate to "How do I add a turbocharger to my engine?". If you don't have a solid foundation in how to maintain and build cars, any answer someone might give will be impossible to understand.

I have various documents some are large some are small, we have to draw up some form of model that would describe how a user interacts with each document when following them for a build. For example, a user might.
Follow Document 1 to Section 10 then be pointed to Document 2 to complete then return back to Section 10 in document 1 etc.
Has anyone ever drawn up some sort of chart to demonstrate this kind of thing for documentation, it is fairly standard for systems but i have never done it regarding documentation and I am just wondering if there is a formal method of doing this for documentation and is there any examples or standard guides to follow.
I think I would use an Activity diagram with Swimlanes for each document.
An alternative would be an IDEF0 diagram(may be appropriate if there are instructions for completing each document, and/or different roles for different steps)

For me it's got to be the Microsoft SQL Server Cast and Convert reference. I must love that page, I seem to visit it several times a day.
PHP Documentation for me - clear, concise, user tips (although these are not always correct and secure - pinch of salt etc). Also good for typing directly into an address bar if you know the function name, eg php.net/in_array - straight to the function's page.
The YUI documentation has had a good number of views over my last few projects...a good example of a clear and concise API
Definitely should be http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt :)
It depends a lot on what I'm doing and what my toolset is. In generaly these days it is probably Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language.
From time to time, I still find that people need my services maintaining/fixing/adding new features to ASP site (VBScript) pages from time to time (yuck). The MSDN VBScript reference is usually all I need.
