WWDC 2010 Sells Out

· by · News

Passes for Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference have already sold out, which means any procrastinators hoping to attend the annual event are out of luck. It took only eight days for the conference to sell out despite the fact that Apple is promoting its iPhone and iPad-related sessions over Mac OS X content.

The annual conference for Mac OS X and iPhone OS developers will include tracks covering the iPhone, the Mac, and IT. Sessions will address working with the new iPhone OS 4 SDK, multitasking apps for the iPhone and iPad, coding for Mac OS X, deploying and managing network applications, working with iAd, HTML5 local storage, and more.

Developers criticized Apple for announcing the dates for WWDC only about a month ahead of the event. This year, Apple gave developers little lead time to make travel and hotel plans.

WWDC is a once-a-year event where developers have an opportunity to learn more about developing for the Mac and iPhone, and can also meet Apple’s own developers face to face. The event will run from June 7 through June 11, 2010 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Developers do have a point in that WWDC was announced so late that they have little time to adjust their schedules for the travel involved.

However, it is amazing that WWDC sold out in less than 8 days. Wow!

This shows how much interest there is in Apple’s OS X platforms (Mac OS X, iPhone OS, etc.).
