Programming Education Presentation and Discussion on Programming Education at the Computer Software Association of Japan (CSAJ) I gave a presentation at the Computer Software Association of Japan (CSAJ) and discussed programming education.
There was a lot of enthusiasm around the idea that we should work closely with CSAJ going forward to firmly establish a framework—as members of the private sector—that can contribute to making programming a required subject. I shook hands in agreement with Mr. Tanaka, President of Sakura Internet and Chair of the CSAJ Programming Education Committee, as well as Mr. Uruga from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
Here’s a photo with the CSAJ members to serve as proof of that moment. With the strong support of Directors Yuji
Ito and Junichi Sugimoto, and the cooperation of CSAJ’s 700 member companies, I feel truly encouraged! ♪
