it's not necessary, but any programming experience, no matter what it is, will definitely help. Math too.
Use globals (variables) extensively, and label them well. Protip: you can make a text global and place whatever formula you want in it, then call upon that formula via the gv() tag. removes a lot of headaches.
Currently polishing a weather graph right now, and while it's been a pain at times, its also been really fun! Had to go back to my schooldays, relearn trigonometry to plot length and rotation of lines between weather points (triangles), etc. Good stuff. Im just starting with KLWP myself, but it shows a helluva lot of promise for doing cool shit.
I'm making a point to have this thing be adaptable too, resizing, changing line widths, etc, are all manageable without breaking it. Super satisfying.
Take inspiration from others, but really do try to create shit from scratch. You learn more, will know how to tweak it, and its way, way more satisfying in the end.

(Also, been considering starting a KLWP general…seems like a large percentage of homescreen threads are filled up with KLWP tech questions. Whaddya think? Might be nice to have a 'learning thread' and a 'presentation thread'…might just make both less populated though…)
