How difficult to learn?

[rpitcairn]

I am reasonably proficient in Supercard (not a master of it, just able to get along). How difficult would it be to learn Rev. compared to that? I have the idea that the language is similar but no experience with it so far.

Thanks,
Richard

The language is similar and I bet you could use a lot of your supercard code.

Easy.

Thanks. Encouraging. I will check it out.

In my experience as a user and a trainer, the learning curve often goes something like this:

Day one: "What the hell is going on? Why doesn't anything work like I expect? I hate this damn thing."

Two days: "Omigawd, the potential is incredible! If only I knew how to use it all..."

One week: "After reading the language guide and trying some things out, I'm able to do truly productive work."

One month: "Now I can do productive work efficiently."

Three months: "With the flexibility of the language and the handy tools in Revolution, I'm seeing slightly greater productivity than in my formerly-favorite tool I'd used for years."

Six months: "I love this thing."

One year: "I love this thing like no other."
