I hope you enjoyed my presentation at RubyConf Brazil 2010!

This repository has my slides, some code demos you can run, and some links to resources to get more information on encodings and Ruby.

You can also see the slides on Slideshare.

Comments? Feel free to send me an email at norman@njclarke.com.
