The big fruit company from Cupertino.
Apple has posted a statement on their hot news site stating in part:
We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October.
WWDC07 session descriptions popped up here today. There’s a lot of hands-on stuff so it appears as if this show will be similar to WWDC05 (the just-post Tiger one).
It looks like there’s a replay of last years WO and Web 2.0 session. I notice lots of AJAX in the list, and a sessions or two on RubyCocoa and PyObjC that might be fun, and maybe I’ll take advantage of the Application Scripting Lab… uh, who am I kidding, I’m just going for the schmooze.
Another week long offering of hard-core geekosity was too hard to resist. I’ve booked my flights and hotel.
It’s the last day of WWDC06. I’ve got one more session and then it’s a wrap. I’ve got to say I’m quite stoked about the changes to WebObjects. Apple is suppose to be writing a public statement on everything that has been announced (though it won’t cover the Leopard specific NDA stuff) and I’ll link to that when it comes out.
I’ve had a great time. I’ve managed to put faces to a lot of names from the lists and it seems like the WO presence at the show really jelled. I remember the first year I attended WWDC (2003) trying to get a WebObjects BOF to happen and failing miserably in my attempts. This year there was lots of activity and excitement and things just kinda popped.
I’ve got the joy of international air travel to look forward to this evening, and then we are off to camp for a week. But I am looking forward to getting home even if it is only for one night.
Apple has released a 17 inch version of the MacBook. Aside from the larger display, it’s the same specs as the 15 inch MacBook with the exception of an 8x DL SuperDrive and a FireWire 800 port. I miss the FW800 port, but I think I’m still happier with a machine that is 1.2 pounds lighter.
