It discusses various date formats such as ISO 8601 strings, Unix timestamps, and RFC 2822, along with their appropriate use cases. The guide emphasizes the importance of understanding input formats before manipulating dates and highlights the methods available in JavaScript's Date object for date generation and human-readable conversions. It also covers localization, time zones, and common pitfalls to enhance project reliability.
