Java 8 The New Date Time API by Tim Findlay
Java's Calendar and Date classes are long in the tooth. Many developers up till now have been utilising 3rd party frameworks like JodaTime or built-in support in Groovy to manage any respectable date and time handling. JSR-310 is the new DateTime API that is based on JodaTime. It was lead by the same developer of JodaTime but is the opportunity to re-write and address some of the previous design to build a quality framework for Java 8.
Tim Findlay, a consultant for Column IT who relies on JodaTime heavily for reporting, will give us an intro to JSR 310. He'll be going through the core classes for Date and Time manipulation for everyone, providing many examples on using it, and finally for those who had used JodaTime, a look at the differences.
