Many end-users are starting to use computers for more than word processing and playing games. While it is still common to use a computer to send emails, surf the internet, and perform other non-programming tasks, computer-based tasks that involve programming skills are becoming more common. These tasks range from being very simple, such as specifying rules for a spam filter, to much more complex tasks, such as making a home budget using a spreadsheet, or reprogramming word processors using a macro language. Users can perform these tasks more efficiently if they have some programming skills.
