+! Building Full-Stack Unicode Applications with VAST
+
+Esteban Maringolo  ([email protected])
+
+""Abstract:""
+The VAST Platform's extensive Unicode support enables the creation of applications that cater to global audiences with diverse language requirements. In this presentation, we'll walk you through the creation of a full-stack demo application that seamlessly integrates and reliably manages Unicode strings across its various layers. Starting from the user interface on the web, we will demonstrate how Unicode strings are handled on the Seaside server. Then, we'll show how these strings are manipulated within the development tools. Finally, we'll explore how Unicode text is stored and retrieved in the database storage layer.
