Programming Achievements: How to Level Up as a Developer

This gist is part of a blog post. Check it out at:

	var serverDate = '2014-02-24 04:52:48.050000'; // EST

	function convertServerDateToLocal(dateInput) {
	// EST - UTC offset: 5 hours
	var offset = 5.0,

	/*
	- calculate the difference between the server date and UTC
	- the value returned by the getTime method is the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC.
	- the time-zone offset is the difference, in minutes, between UTC and local time

	/* Inspired from http://tutsplus.com/lesson/custom-events-and-the-observer-pattern/ */


	(function( $ ) {
	var o = $( {} );

	$.each({
	trigger: 'publish',
	on: 'subscribe',
	off: 'unsubscribe'
