Apple announced Monday that it will unveil the road map of its operating systems - iOS and Mac OS X - at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) from June 6 in San Francisco. Post this announcement the tickets of the conference, which come at a hefty price tag of $1,599 each, were sold-out within 12 hours of going on sale.
"At this year's five-day conference Apple will unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS, including exciting demonstrations of the new kinds of apps that developers can build using Apple's advanced frameworks and more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers,'' Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, said Monday.
The tickets for last year's conference were available for sale for eight days. During the annual conference, more than 100 technical sessions will be presented by Apple engineers on a wide range of technology-specific topics for developing, deploying and integrating the latest iOS and Mac OS technologies.
Over 1,000 Apple engineers will provide developers with code-level assistance, insight into optimal development techniques, and guidance on how they can make the most of iOS and Mac OS technologies in their apps.
"At this year's conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS. If you are an iOS or Mac OS X software developer, this is the event that you do not want to miss,'' Schiller added.
Developers can even bring their code to the labs and work with Apple engineers, applying development techniques and best-practices to enhance their apps, Apple said in a statement.
The gathering will be a great opportunity to connect with thousands of fellow iPad, iPhone and Mac developers from around the world, Apple said.
At the conference, Apple will also present design awards to recognize iPad, iPhone and Mac apps that demonstrate technical excellence, innovation and outstanding design.
