Really?

One of the biggest problems in computing today is the shortage of young programmers, and one of the chief reasons for that is a shortage of readable, basic guides which can act as textbooks in high schools.
[End quote.]

I'd thought there were more programmers than jobs. And if young programmers aren't available, perhaps older programmers might be permitted to apply?

Also, how many high schools are teaching computer programming as opposeed to computer use? There are some, but aren't the majority more interested in inculcating familiarity with Windows and Office?

I know that's not the main topic of your Comment, but any information would be appreciated.
