Working with Calendar Weeks

It's become apparent to me that Germans love the calendar week. Until moving to Germany I never really paid attention to what week of the year it was.

Knowing the current date was challenging enough (High School was an interesting time for me). But I just can't get the hang of the "KW" (Kalendar Woche). I even installed a tricked out Google Calendar that includes the calendar week for a helping hand.

In programming CFML I never really had to worry about it either since CF comes with a handy week() function, which by the way is flawed according to my German colleagues as there are only 52 weeks per year! But that's another story.

Eventually I hope to get the hang of it like I'm learning the German Language. Hopefully I get the hang of the whole week number thing quicker than the Language.

BTW this is week 34.
