Apple Launches iOS 5 Tech Talk World Tour 2011

Apple is taking iOS 5 on a world tour and it wants devs to come along for the ride. Pit-stopping in nine major cities around the world, the mini-WWDCs will allow developers to leard from Apple experts and enhance their software with new technologies. Space is limited, and it’s almost fully booked already.

“Take your apps to the next level at the iOS 5 Tech Talk World Tour,” Apple says, addressing developers via the News and Announcements channel set up on developer.apple.com.

According to the Cupertino, California-based Mac maker, “This is your chance to learn about the exciting new technologies in iOS 5, straight from Apple's experts.”

The company formerly run by Steve Jobs says the purpose of these gatherings is to “help iOS developers take their apps to the next level using the exciting new technologies in iOS 5.”

On a more detailed note, the company explains: “Our team of experts will visit nine cities around the world, covering advanced coding and design techniques that you can take advantage of in your apps."

The company says it’s important that devs have experience coding with the iOS SDK, as well as to have an app actively in development or in the App Store, since Tech Talks are "highly technical."
