Joda-Time - Finally a decent replacement for JDK Date and Calendar!

Dates and Times are critical to most of the business applications that we all write day in, day out. Yet the Java date classes are probably the worst in the whole of the JDK! Why is that? And what can we do about it?

This talk will introduce Joda-Time, a complete replacement for the JDK Date and Calendar classes in Java. And if there's time I'll explain why its best if you customers don't have a birth date of 1943, 1944 or 1945!
