Working with ZonedDateTime in Java Time API

Handling date and time across different time zones is one of the most common yet error-prone tasks in software development. This text-based course cuts through the confusion, teaching you how to represent, manipulate, and store timezone-aware temporal data using modern Java standards. You will transition from basic temporal concepts to confidently managing global scheduling, daylight saving transitions, and database persistence without common timezone bugs. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational date-time concepts, offsets, and the difference between ZoneId and ZoneOffset - Instantiate and manipulate ZonedDateTime and OffsetDateTime objects for global applications - Handle daylight saving time transitions and ambiguous times correctly - Convert between local, system, and UTC times using best practices - Format and parse timezone-aware date strings safely - Apply modern Java practices including type-safe temporal queries and clean code structures Starting with key terminology and foundational timezone principles, this course guides you through step-by-step written explanations and practical code examples to build a robust mental model of Java's modern Time API. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate Java developers who want to master date-time operations. No prior experience with the Java Time API is required.
