Working with time

Very good article on working with time:

https://elixirschool.com/en/lessons/basics/date_time

Get time:

DateTime.utc_now()

To convert time into human readable form:

d = DateTime.utc_now()
Calendar.strftime(d, "%y-%m-%d %I:%M:%S %p")

Timezone data

Elixir does not have built in support for timezone data. You need to use this module:
