My original idea was to alleviate the fear of programming, not necessarily create more programmers. With fear comes much misunderstanding, assumptions, stereotyping. I even see it on the job, where non-programming managers will want to understand, but then say, "Oh, it's that kind of problem, and you're one of those people! programmer. Well, I guess we'll just have to find another geek/nerd to make sense of it."

*shock* - such language!!!

The best are those that make You entirely responsible for Their understanding of a particular topic.

In the end, it's about trying to remove the fear, and show that we're all more alike than dissimilar.
