General idea VS Programming System/Application Development • Action of building specific functions (most of the time, quite explicit) • Practical activity with specific purposes (sometimes implicit) § Improving reliability of services § Creating new values for customers § Enhancing collaborative development process § etc. It is important to learn by doing and also learn from people (domain experts, practitioners)! 2 

Three tips for learning as a web developer 1. Ask good questions 2. Be process-oriented and reflective 3. Make goals and keep updating them 3 

Ask good questions • Process of make questions helps to trigger self-explanation and problem definition. § “I faced a problem that error message shows [phenomenon] and I think it might be caused by [hypothesis]. I attempted fixing it by using [solution] but it seem that the problem is still there for another error message [result] appeared. So what is your opinion?” • Hesitate (typically it means “not”) to recommend to use “Japanese developer jargons”. § I completely understood (完全理解) § I know nothing at all (なにもわからない) I like blue color a lot! 4 

Be process-oriented and reflective • Do some KPTs! § Keep § Problem § Try • There is no 100 percent success or 100 percent failure. § Recognizing “Keep” (what you done well) firstly helps to be active and self-motived. § Considering “Try” toward “Problem” helps to put what you learned into actions. 5 

Make goals and keep updating them • Developer is a career for life-long learners. • Perhaps, ten years later, most of careers in the world need life-long learners. § That is why we can meet each other at this study group or others in the weekday after work or in the weekends. § It is important to create the future learning environment for next generation learners. § That is the reason why I join the company, Classi Corp. 6
