Summary
Society 5.0 with Ruby: The Key to Developing Socially-Useful Human Resources
For three years, starting in the 2017 academic year, we have offered introductory programming with PBL in half of the semester, using the Ruby programming language. Graduates who have taken this class have found that learning from this class has significantly impacted their subsequent activities. This speech describes how current students and alumni have learned programming and how they have used it in their subsequent activities.
