As programmer needs increase, gradation spreads to "places not previously considered programmers.

The development of a programming learning highway has made it possible for non-programmers to solve business problems with programmatic things without months or years of training as programmers.

Google Forms + Google Spread Sheet + Facebook" like functionality in a set.

You can also write programs in JavaScript as well as Google Apps Script

In this day and age, isn't it instructive to think that there is a boundary between programmers and non-programmers?
