Sprego is programming with spreadsheet functions. The present paper provides introductory Sprego examples which have so far only been available in Hungarian. Spreadsheet environments offer both a programming tool which best serves beginner and end-user programmers' interest, and an approach which lightens the burden of coding and language details. Sprego programming utilizes these tools and offers a real world problem solving method based on authentic tables with various contents. The examples selected for the paper show how Sprego programming can be introduced into programming and/or spreadsheet classes.
