But one of the things that I want to do in this Capstone is give you an opportunity to talk and even lead and be creative and come up with ideas. And if all you want to do is the three required assignments, you download some code, you run some stuff, you do some screen shots, we peer grade them and you're done. And the optional assignments are where you build on what we're doing in this capstone and you choose a data source of your own.

And so the ord() function tells us the numeric value of a simple ASCII character. And that's really because, as soon as these ideas came out, it was really clear that UTF-8 is the best practice for encoding data moving between systems. And it would make a Unicode constant by prefixing 'u before the quote and that's a separate kind of thing.

Hello, and welcome to yet another installment of our Internet History Technology Security and Python for Everybody Office Hours. So let's give a quick round of applause for Catalina for setting this up and arranging this. Hi, I'm Stefan and I'm following the Python course from Dr. Chuck and I'm loving to meet him and he's very nice.

And during the initial period where it was just me kind of exploring concepts and trying different things, the idea that really stuck with me the most was actually going back to when I learned to program. And that meant creating talk throughs, which are like videos, except they're way cooler, because they're actually the editor on the left hand side and the output on the right. And so really, what the Khan Academy CS platform, if we had the ability to find whatever that thing is, to get that person really excited about programming, to make them want to keep it and learn it for themselves, but maybe use it within the context of however else they're going to use it.
