+1  Q: 

What does that +0100 value mean in NSDate?

When I look at an NSDate value in the debugger, I get something like this:

1.4.2010 22:01:47 +0100

I don't get it what this +0100 is good for. Sometimes it is +0200. Is that supposed to be the time zone or something like that? What's it exactly? How does it affect the "since reference date" value?

+8  A: 

Timezone.

+0100 means 1 hour ahead of UTC (GMT).

it's a ISO 8601 time zone designator to be precise, although the rest of the format is not in ISO 8601: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_zone_designators
