Abstract:
Save the date

C++20 will see the inclusion of https://wg21.link/p0355r7 Extending
to Calendars and Time Zones. This brings not only duration
and time_point primitives, but also new calendar field types that
allow a much more natural description of a date. With the timezone
extensions we can express the date as UTC and present it in the
system's local timezone with minimal conversion.

This workshop will serve as a hands-on introduction to the date.h and
tz.h libraries where we will investigate some of these concepts and
how to use them. Participants will require a computer with a C++
compiler capable of compiling C++14 or higher; git; and CMake (version
3.8 or later).
