windowsiana

A very simple package that helps when dealing with Windows timezones and mapping them to standard timezones.

I created this package to handle times that were sent back from a web service that were sent with details of the Windows timezone to which they were tied. In order to make the time usable in Go, I created this little package to allow me to convert an inbound Windows time into a propert time.

Technical prerequisites to develop/build

The program is as of 07/2021 developed with Visual Studio Code and several plugins. For enhanced compatibility and easier upgrading, golang is not installed locally anymore, but instead used via a docker container. Therefore the following may be installed on the development machine to develop without a local golang installation:

1. Docker Engine
2. Visual Studio Code with the following plugins:
   • Go
   • Docker
   • Remote - Containers
   • Remote - WSL

The docker container used always uses the latest version of golang.
