are there any drop and drag type programs to make video effects to use with cue/vdj? or is it all script type writing?

Really you need to be able to code in C++ and use the DirectX API.

is this something easy to pick up? are there examples or something to follow like a tutorial?

Depends on your aptitude at learning these things I guess; have you ever used C++ before?

Get yourself a copy of Visual C++ Express 2008 (it's free) and the DirectX SDK (also free) and see what you think. If you need anything I'm happy to help :)
