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.

Python puts accessibility right back to you: http://www.python.org/

Free - as in do what you like license - Simple syntax and with a very rich
set of libraries including SQL database support, XML support, internet
protocols, unit testing and regular expressions to name a few. The windows
version installs, uninstalls and run cleanly on windows with no fiddling
about just as it should.

If you have programmed before you can learn the language in 2 weeks - the
libraries take much longer ;-)
