It’s incredible how Apple
manages to put a “sold out” sign on two things in the same week: first the
iPhone, now WWCD! Their World Wide Developer Conference is indeed something
journalists, consumers and developers look forward to every year, but this
year, it’s a whole different story. The conference is to be held June 9-13 in
San Francisco, and has been sold out for the first time in its history.
Apple spokeman Bill Evans
confirmed the story to Macworld: “Response to this year’s WWCD has been off the
charts and we are delighted with the show of enthusiasm and support from the
developer community for the new iPhone SDK. The conference is now sold out. For
those unable to attend WWCD, session videos will be available to purchase on
iTunes shortly after the conference.”
It still remains unclear how
many attendees this year’s conference will have, as Apple wouldn’t elaborate on
the subject, but it will most certainly be thousands, based on previous years,
all eager to see what Apple CEO Steve Jobs has to say in his keynote, scheduled
for Monday, June 9 at Moscone West.
What to expect this year: over
150 sessions and labs, with Apple engineers going into details on the
technologies that power the iPhone OS, Leopard and Leopard Server. The
conference will include the first-ever iPhone track sessions for developers and
the iPhone Lab, with insight into development techniques, including interface,
web capabilities and iPhone SDK.
In addition to all that, Mac
engineers will offer developers a helping hand into creating innovative Mac OS
X applications, by shedding light on the tools and techniques used by Apple,
including a better understanding of how Leopard’s 2D and 3D graphics
technologies could help developers create vivid and engaging visuals for their
applications.
