I am by no means an advanced programmer of any language and many folks on here are *far* more advanced than myself, but my point is that WebDNA is unusually accessible and, for me anyway, just 'made sense'. I agree with John that *any* programming experience is helpful, but I feel that if someone's going to 'make a go' of any language, WebDNA's a great place to start.
