Why not? Most engineers need to write programs, too. And it's valuable
if programming is "accessable" to occasional programmers like us,
people who haven't the time or inclination to be fulltime Windows API
jocks.

In the DOS days, anybody could hack out a GW Basic program with
minimal training, in a few minutes. Microsoft is increasingly putting
programming out of our reach. So I, for one, am interested in any
"accessable" programming techniques.
