TALK: An Introduction to Unicode in Python
------------------------------------------------------------
(30 mins) Unicode is ubiquitous — nearly all modern computers use it to store and transmit text — and yet most developer know very little or get panicked when they see the message "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92". Panic no more! Eddie will give the introduction that you never got about Unicode, and give best practices and the knowledge you need to handle text from all around the world!
