UX patterns for dates

Generally, users are quite fast at entering dates into input fields rather than selecting one from date picker. One reason why many web applications provide date pickers is that user may not be accurate about what date would it be on next Thursday.

The best approach would be allowing the user to enter/type date, and show a date picker on mouse focus. While using this pattern you have to make sure that the validations are working just fine as the user may enter dates in different formats such as:
01/01/1956
1/1/1956
01/01/56
