DESCRIPTION:Managing dates and times properly is one of the most difficult
  things to get right in software. This is mostly due to us stupid humans 
 and the how we have introduced nuance into our calendars and clocks. In t
 his session\, I will help you straighten it all out. We will cover genera
 l concepts such as UTC and GMT\, daylight savings time\, local time vs. i
 nstantaneous time\, time zones and the different time zone databases\, IS
 O8601 standards\, important date-time gotchas\, and more. We will dive de
 ep into classes for managing time in the Microsoft .Net framework\, inclu
 ding DateTime\, DateTimeOffset and TimeZoneInfo. We will then take a brie
 f look at NodaTime - a C# library aimed at replacing those classes. We wi
 ll also get a quick look at the JavaScript Date object\, and a few JavaSc
 ript date/time libraries including moment.js. Code samples will be in eit
 her C# or JavaScript\, but much of the information is relevant to any mod
 ern software language or architecture.

 nto classes for managing time in the Microsoft .Net framework\, including
  DateTime\, DateTimeOffset and TimeZoneInfo. We will then take a brief lo
