Developer’s Time Calculator
This is my first Flex/Flash/Action Script application. I always believed that the best way to learn new tool or language is to practice and try to create something useful, even if it is useful only for me. I frequently have to manipulate dates, convert them to other timezones, manipulate timestampls etc. So - here is the result: the time calculator (new window will open).
Here is what you can do with it:
- By default it is initialized with the current date/time
- You can always reset it to the current date/time by pressing "C" button
- You can add/substract time units with the corresponding buttons
- You can align the date/time to the beginning of the next (up) or current (down) period - like month, week etc
- You can switch between the regular time mode, UNIX timestamp and the timestamp expressed in milliseconds (used in Java, for example)
- You can edit the time manually, press enter to commit your changes
- You can pick a date/time by using the "Pick" button
- Finally, you can convert the current date/time to any supported timezone or to any existing timezone offset
I hope someone but me will find it useful too :)
