If you have wondered what technologies or computer languages are popular in Japan (circa late 2008/early 2009) this video may interest you.
I went down to the local bookstore and recorded some footage of (Japanese) IT/Computer books on offer. You’ll find out which language is the most popular, which books are translated from their original English form and there’s even a death-match fight between WordPress and Moveable Type.
I even found out there is a VB 2008 out there somewhere!
