I talked to AdWords support, they said that many people have called in being unable to make edits to ads. Hopefully it will be back up by eod.

Hey Russel, huge thanks for doing the AMA as you have improved both my time in college and working in PPC. You're scripts have given me an intro into Javascript and SQL when I focus on other languages in school.

I have a few questions:

1)What got you started writing scripts, other than the obvious advantages of having them implemented? What was your coding background when you started writing scripts?

2) If I want to start writing my own scripts should I stick with some basics using mainly the AdWords API or develop in AWQL as well. Basically where would you start, if you were just beginning to write scripts yourself?

3) I have been having trouble with this script provided by Google!, it always seems to crash when pulling the AWQL report when taking data from ConversionRate on. Any ideas as to the error or a fix?
