What Time Is It Anyway: CodeMash from Pluralsight

CodeMash 2020 | What Time Is It Anyway? | Tyler Jennings

Handling date and time in applications can be a complex task with many nuances. How should you handle date time? Should you store local time zone or UTC? Should you store dates and times separately? Should you use Unix time? These are all valid questions and there isn't a one size fits all solution. In this talk, Tyler Jennings will take a look at the challenges that date and time present, the different scenarios you might run into, and how you might solve them in your applications. You will also learn the pros and cons of different approaches and see which approach might be best in various circumstances.
