Join us for the online meetup "Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey Stuff" with Kevlin Henney. If you think you know everything you need to know about date-time handling, Kevlin will prove that you are almost certainly wrong.

Venue/Host: Zoom
Costs: Free of charge
Speaker: Kevlin Henney

ABOUT THE TALK

Time. In our code, we can capture dates from the past and times from the future. We tidy time into data structures, capture moments in databases, and watch the sands of time through our APIs. It's all nice and logical, right? Wrong. If you think you know everything you need to know about date-time handling, you are almost certainly wrong. If you think you don’t, you are almost certainly right.

In this talk, we'll have some fun by looking at some of the not-quite-right assumptions we hold and learn from the messes that we other people have made.
