Does anyone know a place to take an online course or book to learn how to do the script? Or does it require years of programming experience? I only have a vague understanding of programming, but certainly enough to see that this program becomes much more powerful when you understand it.
Thanks.

Although no pure "WealthScript class" is offered, you can certainly think .NET here and take any C# tutorial or class for beginners.

Example:
PublicJoe's C# Tutorial - The C# Language - Part One
C# Station - Tutorial
Introduction to C# (a PDF file)
Jagger's C# Programming Course

Yes, there's going to be some learning curve in it for you but at this point you don't need anything more than C# 101, or even less. Learn just the basics: the C# syntax, program flow control, data types, operators and statements, classes, Date/Time and String classes. Once you're familiar with this, look at the various examples that can be found in the QuickRef, WealthScript Programming Guide, and of course the canned strategies.
