Summary of The RIGHT way to deal with Date and Time in C#

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

In this video, Nick demonstrates how to properly deal with date and time in C# code to make sure that it is testable. He explains how to create a simple class and unit test it, demonstrating that the code is returning what it should. He then shows how to inject a date time provider into the code of a Griddle service and remove the dependency on the system clock, allowing tests to pass even when running on different dates and times. This makes it easier to test the code and avoid potential errors.
