If you program in Java and have to convert dates and times between different timezones then you will know that the Date, Calendar & TimeZone objects of the java.util package are the way to go. The JavaDoc for java.util.TimeZone mentions that you can use a 'time zone ID' of "America/Los_Angeles" to get the US Pacific Time. It doesn't give examples of any other time zone ID, so here is a list of the standard US time zone IDs: Area Abbrev Zone Name Eastern Time EST America/New_York Central Time CST America/Chicago Mountain Time MST America/Denver Pacific Time PST America/Los_Angeles Alaska Time AST America/Anchorage Hawaii-Aleutian Time HST America/Adak (Table sourced from Statoids: Time Zones of the United States .)
