Programmers in Iceland that only write Icelandic apps are lucky - they don't deal with time zones ever. :)

Wow! Ok Google, how to get the Icelandic nationality?

I live in the Netherlands and write applications for Dutch customers. I don't deal with time zones either... As far as I know most of Europe that only writes for their own country doesn't.

It's an OO world.

public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

There are many more comfortable climates where you do not need to deal with time zones for in country apps. Iceland is a little too close to Mother at her most aggressive for my taste.

I'd prefer the Caribbean. Taime zones, Mon? Tcha! Maybe tomorrow.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

In the Netherlands? Which bit? Curaçao? Aruba? Sint Maartin? Surely they have several times zones. In the Netherlands has something we in Britain do not have, a Land Border with France. Aren't we lucky!

I once had to explain to a lead developer in a project why his app was caclulating differently on a computer with Swedish settings or US settings... [^]

Sander Rossel

Most Dutchies don't even consider those as part of the Netherlands, me included...

It's an OO world.

public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

I seriously do not understand how this can be still be a bloody issue. Record using a proper date-time data type and format for the local time zone - 5pm in London == 12 noon in New York == 1862 in Paris.

And they havent to deal with "I18n". But I really like to code for all people on earth :cool:

:confused: Last time I checked the Netherlands doesn't have a border with France (or am I missing some obscure small piece of land that was annexed by them?) . You might be thinking of Belgium (they are different country's you know :) )
