NED Camp

Flash is getting phased out and there is an increasing focus on mobile, responsive design, and scalability. This is leading many teams to consider new options for their graphing libraries. Sometimes non-technical teammates are finding themselves in a position where they have to choose this new library even if they are not the person who will be implementing it. During this session I will discuss my journey to a new graphing library including the questions I needed to answer and lessons I learned going through this process myself.
In this session we'll discuss:
- Who you should consult along the way
- What questions need to be asked
- Some of the popular options today
- Implications on mobile and accessibility
