Speaker: Stephen Colebourne

Most applications have some kind of date and time logic, whether it be as simple as accessing the current date or as complex as managing the flight times of an airline. JSR-310 is a new standard being developed from Joda-Time to improve on the basic Date and Calendar classes. This session will explain the problems with the JDK classes, explain how JSR-310 solves them and showcase some advanced features for handling time-zones.
