14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has confirmed over 60 sessions spanning iPhone, Mac and IT at the 2008 Apple Worldwide Developer Conference, soon to be held on June 9-13 at the Moscone West in San Francisco. Last month, Apple introduced sessions dedicated to devs building native iPhone apps. Developers are encouraged to register in order to benefit from early registration pricing.
At the heart of your WWDC experience is the range of technical sessions and hands-on labs presented by Apple engineers and experts. Get in-depth information with presentations on the technologies that power iPhone OS, Leopard and Leopard Server, and code along during practical "how-to" sessions. You'll get answers to your most critical questions, insight into development techniques, and best-practices on optimizing features that will define your product's success. The first set of sessions and labs now are available, with many more coming soon, says Apple on the dedicated web site.
Tickets are available as follows:
Tickets - WWDC E-Ticket - US$1295.00 - WWDC E-Ticket 5 Pack (buy four, get one free) - US$5180.00
ADC Memberships with Tickets - Select Membership and WWDC E-Ticket - US$1694.00 - Premier Membership (Includes WWDC E-Ticket) - US$3,499.00
Once registered, devs will be able to take advantage of the Technical Presentation Sessions, where they'll be introduced to the latest innovations in iPhone OS, Leopard, and Leopard Server. As an attending developer, you'll also get access to code-level information and practical guidance "to make the most of Apple technologies in your development," according to the Cupertino folks. In-depth coverage of development topics, followed by Q&A with the speakers will also be featured.
Still, nothing can beat a hands-on experience guided by Apple engineers in what Apple calls Hands-On Sessions, featured at the Mac, IT, and iPhone Labs. Goals include creating an optimal user experience, troubleshooting, or integrating Apple technologies to add new features in your application.
Geeks, too, need peace and relaxation. As such, evening activities are also included in the program. After all that code-crunching, a bit of fun at the end of the day is definitely in order.
