I am looking for the best way to handle time zones.
The database has date/time. in GMT.
The client may be in any timezone when retrieving a schedule.
The schedule may be viewed using their local time or viewed using another
time zone.
I was thinking of doing a conversion on the server side but the client side
knows the zone.
