Last year there was Metal for 3D rendering.
Over the last few years Apple has built a robust game development environment into Xcode and iOS. The ease of development makes many a developer stay with the one platform. Rapid development also means it’s an easy environment to get into for beginners. Build fast enough that rapid hardware changes can be adapted to quickly, and any new hardware has a large amount of apps on release day. All of the points following this one depend on this overarching idea. The Big Theme: High Quality, Good Style Fast to MarketĪpple’s strategy for the last few years has been towards rapid development of applications by developers. They write for consumers, and what goes on under the hood doesn’t concern them. It’s not completely their fault of course. You can expect post-keynote for the press to be generally disappointed and exclaiming this the decline of Apple for lack of innovation this year, missing what really happened. They invariably miss the big stuff going on to concentrate over some shiny new toy that’s relatively meaningless in the scheme of things, which might be the Spotify competitor this year. Most, if not all, of the press are not programmers of any kind, let alone work with Xcode regularly. This is an annual tradition, and of course the press would never admit they goofed big time, along the lines as the Apple watch will never amount to anything and Google Glass is the way to go. Very often these trends at WWDC get missed.
#Wwdc 2015 dates series
Like a good television series there are story arcs and trends that follow Apple products. Often hardware related programming gets held back even from developers. Apple never tells the whole story at WWDC. Everyone now shows up to write some headline about Apple.
Some members of the press figured out that when Apple warns developers about something, it must mean some big news at Apple. There are notable exceptions like the Apple Watch which had several announcements and a release date only weeks before WWDC2015. Generally, late September announces the new Hardware with a October or November release date. In June at WWDC, Apple gives the developers enough warning to get their applications and skills up to speed for the fall hardware releases. As a developer, I look froward to this event every year and have a different take than most commentators.Īpple has a calendar of releases. The event is the World Wide Developer’s Confrence (WWDC), the event for those people and companies developing applications for OSX and iOS. Some lucky people in person, most through on-line connections. Once a year, Apple developers get together in San Francisco.
