Update from Africa - EPROM.
EPROM’s first academic year has been extremely eventful. We have successfully developed a mobile phone programming curriculum and taught hundreds of Kenyan and Ethiopian computer science students Python, Java, and SMS-based mobile application development. These classes have lead to dozens of projects concerning the development of mobile phone applications specifically for the African market. Several of these projects have gathered international media attention, while others are being formed into start-up ventures based in Nairobi, Addis Ababa, and beyond. Throughout the remainder of this year we will be focusing on supporting these research projects, training faculty to continue teaching the curriculum, and introducing the initiative to other neighboring countries in East Africa – still the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world.
I took this picture two days ago in Addis Ababa during our Java for Mobile Devices class. While I'm currently back in Kenya, next week I've got appointments with the local universities in Uganda about curriculum sharing opportunities. It's nice to see EPROM really starting to take off. Check out the updated research page as well...

Hello Nathan,
Mobile industry is growing in folds so the programming should be; EPROM seem to be doing a great job and we should appreciate work of all the member behind EPROM for their hard work and research.
I wish you All The Best.....
