More Companies Sign On to President Obama’s Computer Science for All Initiative

Computer science is starting to catch on.

When President Obama announced he would request the funding for the Computer Science for All initiative in his federal budget proposal, tech companies like Google, Salesforce, Amazon and Code.org came on board to offer investments and teacher training for a workforce that may be unfamiliar with computer science education.  Now, other companies and groups like Twitter, LinkedIn and Teach for America have all pledged to be involved in the mission to get more kids access to programming.
