Okay....
You have Before Christ, Did he born on 0 year?
And what about After Death, did he die on 0 year, too?
I know he died at age 30.... and I don't get it...
Okay... so if he was born on 0 year... so that mean
year 28 is DC.... stand for During Christ?

AD = Anno Domini = In the year of the lord, starting with the first year of his life. The Gregorian calender missed the spot by a few years, though, as brianinchina2003 points out in his answer below.
There's no between. We should fix the system, though. BCE and CE, anyone?

He died at age 33... began his public ministering at 30.
Year "0" as you put it, is the year of Birth... however it is now believed that somehow it was calculated wrong and He was actually born around 4AD.
The AD does not stand for "After Death" it is Latin "Anno Domini" which is a latin phrase for "the Year of our Lord." This dating system is not from the Bible, it is man made.
The basis of it is that before Christ came we were living under the "Old Covenant" or that of the law. After He came, we began (and continue) to live in "the Year of our Lord" which is under the "New Covenant" which is grace, His payment for our sins. That is the separation... which is interesting that all scholars and historians for centuries have believed and based everything on this dating system... yet a vast majority of them are not Christians? Something to ponder at least.

AD doesn't stand for After Death, it stands for Anno Domini - loosely translated it means 'In the year of our Lord.' In theory the year 0 AD was the year of Jesus' birth. More probably he was three by the time 0 AD rolled around. It is a rather arbitrary demarcation though.

Jesus would have been born in 1AD if the system of counting years was correct, but it is now agreed He was born in 4BC. There was no year 0, we count from 1BC to 1AD.
AD doesn't mean After Death, it means Anno Domini (Latin for In the year of the Lord).

In actuality, it's debated whether He was born as early as 6 BC to 4 BC, which were the years that coincide with the kings that are mentioned in the Bible (I can't remember which ones, but I can look it up) to have ruled during that time.

No,AD stands for 'Anno Domini',which means 'in the year of our Lord',and counts the time after the birth of Jesus.

So it looks like we are missing 30 years somewhere doesn't it? It doesn't really matter what is 30 years out of three billion?

AD doesn't mean "after death", it means "anno domini" (in the year of our lord).
