Some developers write date/time-sensitive code without worrying about it — but also without thinking about it. Some developers write date/time-sensitive code and worry about it a lot because it’s hard.

In this talk Jon will provide a conceptual framework and some guidance to help you write date/time-sensitive code with a reasonable degree of confidence, and test it. Examples will use the modern Java package “java.time” and Jon’s own Noda Time project for .NET, but the concepts themselves are portable.

About Jon

Jon Skeet is a Staff Developer Platform Engineer at Google, working on Google Cloud Platform client libraries for .NET, based in the London office. (That’s the theory, anyway. Most of the time he works from his shed instead.) He’s best known for contributions to Stack Overflow as well as his book, C# in Depth. Additionally he is the primary maintainer of the Noda Time date/time library for .NET.

Outside of software, Jon is a committed Christian, and enjoys theatre (particularly musical theatre), playing board games, and spending time with his amazing family
