Parse a date and time from a string
Given the string
"2008-05-06 13:29", parse it as a date representing 6th March, 2008 1:29:00pm in the local time zone.
java
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
Date date = df.parse("2008-05-06 13:29");
Date date = df.parse("2008-05-06 13:29");
DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
DateTime dt = fmt.parseDateTime("2008-05-06 13:29");
DateTime dt = fmt.parseDateTime("2008-05-06 13:29");
csharp
DateTime parsedDate = DateTime.Parse("2008-05-06 13:29");
// Ideally, you would catch the potential FormatException or use DateTime.TryParse in production code.

Display information about a date
Display the day of month, day of year, month name and day name of the day 8 days from now.
java
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add(DAY_OF_YEAR, 8);
System.out.println(cal.get(DAY_OF_MONTH));
System.out.println(cal.get(DAY_OF_YEAR));
System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM").format(cal.getTime()));
System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE").format(cal.getTime()));
cal.add(DAY_OF_YEAR, 8);
System.out.println(cal.get(DAY_OF_MONTH));
System.out.println(cal.get(DAY_OF_YEAR));
System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM").format(cal.getTime()));
System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE").format(cal.getTime()));
csharp
DateTime date = DateTime.Today.AddDays(8);
Console.WriteLine("Day of month: " + date.Day);
Console.WriteLine("Day of year: " + date.DayOfYear);
Console.WriteLine("Month name: " + date.ToString("MMMM"));
Console.WriteLine("Day name: " + date.ToString("dddd"));
// The two ToString calls will use the current locale.
// To get localised month and day names, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8tfzyc64.aspx
Console.WriteLine("Day of month: " + date.Day);
Console.WriteLine("Day of year: " + date.DayOfYear);

Display a date in different locales
Display a language/locale friendly version of New Year's Day for 2009 for several languages/locales. E.g. for languages English, French, German, Italian, Dutch the output might be something like:
Thursday, January 1, 2009
jeudi 1 janvier 2009
giovedì 1 gennaio 2009
Donnerstag, 1. Januar 2009
donderdag 1 januari 2009
(Indicate in comments where possible if any language specific or operating system configuration needs to be in place.)

Display the current date and time
Create a Date object representing the current date and time. Print it out.
If you can also do this without creating a Date object you can show that too.
