Mark,
Thanks for the inspiration! Speaking of novices and creating apps for the educational market. I haven't seen the beginning of this thread and am a complete neophyte as far as programming goes, but am extremely interested in potential uses of Rev for the educational market. I run a small chain of language schools here in Osaka, Japan and have been working in the language education field for nearly a decade here in this country, specializing in children's education. The English language education market is a multibillion dollar market in this country alone, but decent software (language teaching in Asia) is few and far between. I would be very interested in hearing more about what you have to say about potential applications in this field.

The "inventive user" person certainly describes myself, and anyone else I have recommended Revolution to. I don't know many "real programmers," but those I do know work on low level programming specific to some feature that their employers tell them to make happen.
It would seem Revolution could really make a dent in education, as well, particularly in the instruction of basic programming skills and logic. Being able to create an application, no matter how simple, is an incredibly empowering experience for the novice who is used to doing what the computer wants him/her to do, rather than having the computer do what you tell it to do.
