Brief Introduction
Everything you need to know about handling text in programming (with examples in Python)Description
Hello and welcome to this course: Encoding and Unicode Demystified in Python. Where you can get to the important points quickly without having to watch hours of typing into an editor!
Unicode is the worldwide standard for character representations, supporting 154 different writing systems and over 143,924 individual characters.
This complete course provides an in-depth explanation of Unicode, encoding and how it all works together, with practical examples in both Python 2 and Python 3.
The course covers everything that you will need to know to solve the problems caused by improper, broken handling of Unicode and its encoding. An example of this is when you see some ordinary text like 'ça va' go through a program or website and gets totally ruined, ending up like 'ça va'?. Not good!
if you write software that handles text, you need to understand how to use Unicode and its encoding.
By the end of this short course, you will know exactly how to write software that handles text correctly, every time!.
So why wait? Let's get started today.
