Report from a Japanese concrete5 book release seminar held in Tokyo

日本語のレポートはこちら。

We held a pre-release party of Japanese concrete5 book on Feb 6th 2014 in Tokyo. It was organized by Mynavi Corporation and concrete5 Japan Inc..

This book is a first book of concrete5 written in Japanese. Several members of Japanese community wrote this book. At this night, about 70 people joined to our seminar!

The seminar was entitled “concrete5 – it’ll change the web design and web development“. First, our local community leader Katz (@katz515) talked about introducing about concrete5 CMS.

I talked about “Responsive Web Design and concrete5”, a case study of concrete5 web site made with Foundation framework.

Kimiya Sato (@kimiya) talked about “Development with crowd sourcing and concrete5”, and his talk inspired us to make project management more creative on GitHub. concrete5 is not only a web design tool, but also a powerful framework for collaborative web development.

Then we discussed about concrete5. Toshiharu Kawatake (left) is technical director of Loftwork Inc., their company loves concrete5 for their CMS solution. He introduced about their projects and advantages of concrete5.

Tao Sasaki (left, @tao_s) is CTO of concrete5 Japan inc, and Miki ishijima (right, @woopsdez) is famous web designer in Tokyo.

Rock-paper-scissors tournament for concrete5 swags! They enjoyed.

Finally, we enjoyed drink up after the seminar!

Thanks to everyone who came out for concrete5 seminar and thanks to wait long time to get Japanese concrete5 book! Yes, we made it!

Thanks to Franz, Andrew and all of concrete5 community members in the world, and thanks again for great CMS!
