fyi python is fairly easy to learn language that is std in linux etc. & can be installed in windoz. All free
via python you can look at the blockchain data.
in theory you could build 'apps' to interrogate & retrieve data & make bots etc
but as I said I'd rather use a 'toolbox' eg just a "mail client"

Thanks for the lil info. The more I can useful I recvd, the better it facilitates my learning process.
