摘要

The aim of this case study is to provide a detailed description of the first university-level programming and computer science training in Hungary, which started in 1957 at the University of Szeged. The program began due to the strenuous efforts of Professor Laszlo Kalmar, who is considered to be 'the father of computer science in Hungary'. The aim of this study is to add to the literature on Kalmar's work, focusing on his activities in the field of computer science education, and at the same time, to add a detailed study from the Eastern Bloc to the history of computer science education.
