Unicode In Python, Completely Demystified

Mr. Kumar McMillan (Leapfrog Online)

-- slides at http://farmdev.com/talks/unicode/ --

This talks aims to make every single last person in the audience understand exactly how to write unicode-aware applications in Python 2. If necessary, we will move to a Birds of Feather gathering, to the bar, to your hotel room, I'll start hanging around your cube at work -- whatever it takes -- until you completely "get it." But it's really simple so bring an open mind, a notepad, and get ready to create bullet proof Python software that can read and write text in Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Klingon, et cetera. As a citizen of the Python community you have the responsibility of creating unicode-aware applications!

the recording is really bad...

I didnt understand anything.. the audio isnt enough clear...

Content is worth 5 stars, but the audio is a little weak. Gives a great description of unicode, where it comes from, and how it's represented in the world, & in Python (a powerful scripting language).
