Naomi Meyer, Software Engineer at Adobe

Abstract 

Building custom data visualizations with full international support is not always easy. As a Software Engineer on the globalization team at Adobe, Naomi has worked on adding new data visualization features and modifying legacy visualizations, for an international audience of users. It’s been a learning process to correctly format strings, numbers, dates, times, currencies, calendars, x/y axis, and more! In this talk, Naomi will share some of the useful techniques she's learned about customizing data visualizations for a global audience. With a focus on JavaScript, she will discuss high level ideas to keep in mind when designing, coding, testing, internationalizing, and localizing data visualizations for the world wide web!
