Working with Dates, Timezones, and Calculations in Python

Managing dates, times, and timezones in software development is notoriously tricky, often leading to silent bugs and scheduling errors. This text-based course guides you from foundational temporal concepts to advanced calculations, ensuring you can confidently handle any calendar logic. You will learn to understand the core difference between naive and timezone-aware datetime objects, parse and format complex date and time strings using Python's standard libraries, calculate business days and custom time intervals for real-world applications, configure global timezones using the modern zoneinfo module, and apply type hints to datetime operations for safer code. The course starts with essential terminology and basic calendar concepts before progressing to hands-on parsing and timezone management. Designed for Python beginners and intermediate developers looking to eliminate datetime headaches, this course requires only basic Python knowledge.
