The main difference is that there are separate types for the following concepts:
1) A point in time in global timeline
2) A specific date and time in specific time zone
3) Specific date and time but without any information about time zone (and two more related types that contain only date information or only time information).
There are a few more types, but these illustrate the main difference from .NET DateTime. In case you missed it, the basic concepts are explained here: https://nodatime.org/3.0.x/userguide/concepts https://nodatime.org/3.0.x/userguide/concepts (which I should have linked to in the first place).
This blog post by Jon Skeet explains the troubles with DateTime: https://blog.nodatime.org/2011/08/what-wrong-with-datetime-anyway.html https://blog.nodatime.org/2011/08/what-wrong-with-datetime-a... (he's also one of the authors of NodaTime).
