Not quite, I was hoping to find the piece of code that would know if a given date is/is not a holiday.
Some holidays, like Christmas, are easy, they always occur on the same day each year. Some are almost easy, they occur on the x day of a month. Some, like Easter/Good Friday, are somewhat complicated to calculate. Has anyone written Tango/Witango or JavaScript code to calculate holidays, not to look them up from a DBMS? Would you be willing to share with me/with the list?
