Ah but that is my point - you "worked through them". I don't have a
background in programming either, until I learned on my own. But cut
'n paste never taught me anything. Okay maybe not anything, but very
little. Maybe after you tore the script apart and thought about it
you learned things. But I still hold that solid programming
fundamentals will take you much farther. 

I'm not saying cut n paste is bad, I'm just saying in a teaching
environment I would tend to want to give them something more solid.
