A couple of weeks ago, I commented on the strategies for recruiting additional software engineers in the face of personnel shortages. Since then, I've seen three or four indications that another strategy is gaining popularity in several parts of the country: hiring and training high-school students as "paraprogrammers." I use the term here in the same sense as "paralegal" or "paranurse," and I think it's just as relevant and valuable.
