KEN LUNDE, Ph.D.
CJKV Information Processing
———————————————————————————————————
Ken Lunde, Sr. Computer Scientist at Adobe Systems, Inc. and author of “CJKV Information Processing”, will outline the basics of large character sets and encodings, which is a must for developers of international/multilingual applications.
He will also cover issues related to GB 18030-2000, which is a government-mandated character set standard from Mainland China that has far-reaching implications. GB 18030-2000 is thus an important topic for software developers worldwide, given the potential of the Mainland Chinese market.
