Jappleng has come a long way since its first conceptualization back in November 2005. It has transitions between a few versions of a blog to a news service and then to what it is today. It is a little embarrassed to say that there’s very little to show for in regards to content, but trust us when we say “we studied the market enough to know how to do it right”.

We want to provide free services for you but how to go about it is an art by itself. Unfortunately there is no way to avoid the corporate path which we ended up taking (Jappleng University LLC.) but that doesn’t mean our goals have changed at all, we’re even more motivated to do what is needed to deliver.

In early January I found myself yearning for a true release of Jappleng University and thus I divulged myself into the workings of web programming and the like. It was not long until I had gathered enough knowledge to create a plan for which Jappleng will need to follow. Thereafter, I had recruited individuals with powerful talented and we have managed to develop an incredible piece of work that I believe will be what everyone will be talking about. My wish is that people will get to see Jappleng University as a benevolent society, and understand our mission behind it and a portal to provide easy access to the Japanese language and culture.

Today, the great news is that the modules that make the website accessible from page-to-page are now functional and our custom designed content management system is working without many kinks. It is very exciting to see how far we’ve come and I know that next week when we have our real launch party (back 2gether bash) we may find ourselves further ahead than we had expected. But for now, it’s time to ensure that the quality and integrity of the website remains and is improved upon.
