Japanese software engineering / programming vocabulary - ariariari - 2014-09-15

I am a software engineer and am looking to converse with Japanese software engineers during an upcoming trip to Japan. I am trying to find vocabulary lists about my specific industry but am having trouble. I mostly work with data science / data analysis. For example, here are a few words that I recently added to my anki list:

プログラミング言語
データ
データ分析
データ加工

I have been looking at some Japanese data science blogs and adding stuff as I go. But I thought if someone had already compiled a list that I could use or build off of, that might save me some time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Maybe you'll find this book useful, there are some chapters dedicated to the computer...

http://books.google.it/books?id=zolnvcfNI2AC&pg=PP9&lpg=PP9&ots=Q3nZ2W_nsX&focus=viewport&dq=technical+japanese+volume+2&hl=it&output=html_text

It's Intermediate Technical Japanese Volume 2, a glossary of the terms that appear in Volume 1.
Unfortunately it is not copy-pastable.

These are more like general IT jargon dictionaries, but they help me when I'm going through Japanese web development tutorials. Googling "IT用語辞典" brings up a lot of them.

I don't have a pre-fabricated vocab list ready, but you might want to consider generating your own list using cb's tools that you can find here on this forum. e.g. gather a lot of resources, generate a word frequency report, throw away the non-technical words and learn the rest.

You could check Imabi's site here, he has a page with some basic programming vocabulary:

Why not read the docs for a language you already know in Japanese? PHP has Japanese docs, e.g.:

http://php.net/manual/ja/

And of course Ruby, being the creation of a Japanese developer, has extensive Japanese docs.

I was making one while reading this book, but a lot of programming words are easily guessable if you have a decent vocab, since they seem to be direct translations or katakana. Here are a few I saved that aren't on that imabi list.

凝集度 cohesion
結合度 coupling
粒度 granularity
構成要素 component
列挙型 enum
有効範囲 scope
入れ子 nesting

You could try watching some videos on http://dotinstall.com/ if there's anything useful for you, or searching YouTube for talks or tutorials on data science.
