SUMMARY:Taming Time in PHP: Best Practices and Gotchas
DESCRIPTION:GPUG (GPUG PHP User Group)\nThis month we're joined by Scott K
 eck-Warren\, founder of UnleashedPodcasts.com and experienced speaker in t
 he PHP community. Scott will be presenting his talk Taming Time in PHP.\n\
 nTime is one of the hardest problems in software even if you're not workin
 g across time zones\, formats\, and legacy systems. In this talk\, you’l
 l learn how to manage time effectively in PHP web applications\, including
  how to handle daylight saving transitions\, properly use `DateTimeImmutab
 le`\, and avoid pitfalls in date math. Whether you're maintaining a legacy
  system or building greenfield\, this session will equip you with the tool
 s and patterns to avoid time-related bugs and improve code reliability.\n\
 nThis event will take place at our Vehikl's new location. The doors will b
 e locked\, but there will be a QR code on the door that you can scan to le
 t someone know you're there.\n\n2240 University Ave E\nBuilding C\nWaterlo
 o\, ON\nN2K 0G3\n\nIf this is your first time at the new location\, this i
 s the South-most building of the former RIM campus. When heading East on L
 abrador Drive\, see the building on the right after The Timeless Material 
 Company. The parking garage is closed\, but there is parking on either sid
 e and on the roof of the garage. Once parked\, you can find the entrance a
 cross from the garage. If taking the bus\, your best bet is to take the 20
 2 Express and get off at the University/Northfield Technology Park stop. F
 rom there\, walk to the round about and head south into the technology par
 k.\n\nOur sincere thanks to Vehikl for continuing to provide the venue\, f
 ood\, and beverages. Please be sure to RSVP so we can plan appropriately f
 or catering.
