Getting the day of the week, in the Gregorian calendar, for a given date is pretty straightforward. I thought we publihsed it online somehwere on the Royal Observatory website, but I can't find it. However, wikipedia has the algorithm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculating_the_day_of_the_week#An_algorithm_to _calculate_the_day_of_the_week Cheers Jim O'Donnell Original Message: ----------------- From: K???i???tof ???elechovski giecrilj@stegny.2a.pl Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:39:55 +0200 To: Smylers at stripey.com, whatwg at lists.whatwg.org Subject: Re: [whatwg] Week Strings An algorithm to calculate the weekday of Jan.???1th given a year is not obvious at all. Just the opposite: the more obvious an external fact is, the easier (and more appropriate) it is to incorporate it to the specification because it does not cause any distraction from the main subject.
