I used a template, which is available here <a href="http://vbscript-macro-template.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://vbscript-macro-template.blogspot.com/</a> and I just added to it and also tried to understand everything that it did. Now, several years later I am writing my own desktop and database applications. It may sound crazy, but I first learned to program writing VBScript macros for windows.

I think the "contributions" section really shows the rich development community and the quality of the participation. Recently I’ve been devoting my time to learing LOLcode (http://lolcode.com/).

Similarly, it also has some social network features (you can share "hacks" (programs) with your friends) and the example apps are things that seem more relevant than "hello world". One of the first things you build is actually a YouTube movie downloader. - Mike Brad,
