should Try.

Question : The case you are trying ...a new technology whose documents are written in English only (not in Japanese).

What would you do in this situation?•Wait for someone to translate the document.

•Try to read the document in English.

The most Effective way ...

The most Effective way to get knowledge on a new technology is to read a document on it in English!• To wait translation ?

o It's wasting time! There may be no one to translate it. In this case do you wait translation?

• To give up to get information?oYou are going to be looser.

About 97 x 3 books

•97 Things Every Programmer Should Know ... I got it in translation.

•97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know ... I got it in translation.

• I had got these books in translation because I had lower attitude toward to be good programmer.

But on Project manager book...

• 97 Things Every Project Manager Should Knowo I got it in English format.o I have searched it in oreilly.com.o I have confidence that there may have been

the 97 book for Project manager.o So, I already know the contents of 97 Things

Every Project Manager Should Know before Japanese translated one being published.

For brand new technologiesTo read in English is much

Faster and Effective than to wait translation.

Oops Dr. Maruyama had mentioned it so that it wouldn't be commonly used in Japan.

No Translation Available

The Jinx for the technology that

Dr. Maruyama had been interested in is not commonly used in Japan (Maruyama Jinx). But I think the jinx is produced by ourselves. Had been waiting we, as developer, for more information from Dr. Maruyama? If we didn't try the technology, it would not have been used. We were too relying on someone who can translate English to use a new technologies. We call the situation "Galapagosization", as is called NTT Docomo mobile phones.

In US or other country ...

There are already book for Spring Roo!!! It's becoming commonly used technology inforeign countries.

For brand new technologiesTo read in English is much

Faster and Effective than to wait translation.
