Learn Java from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide - Step 12 - Java Dates - Exploring LocalDate - Creation and Methods to Play

The video tutorial introduces the Java LocalDate class, explaining how to import and use it to get specific date information such as year, month, and day. It covers methods to determine if a year is a leap year and how many days are in a month or year. The tutorial also demonstrates how to perform date arithmetic by adding or subtracting days, months, and years, emphasizing the immutability of LocalDate. Additionally, it introduces LocalDateTime, highlighting its ability to handle time components like hours, minutes, and seconds.
