Apple's WWDC Begins Monday

Posted by pudge on from the maybe-next-week-we-will-have-real-news dept.

KeelSpawn writes in that Yahoo! has a story about the upcoming WWDC in San Jose, May 6-10. Apple will offer attendees the chance to "be the first to explore the powerful new capabilities of the next major release of Mac OS X," with over 100 technical sessions, including those on Darwin, changes in Carbon and Cocoa, and more than 25 sessions on Java and WebObjects. The WWDC Steve Jobs keynote begins May 6 at 1 p.m. Eastern, while the Mac OS X keynote begins at 5 p.m. Eastern.

    I hear they usually play the keynotes at Apple Stores. I'm not familiar with New York, but there are three Apple Stores in that state: in Buffalo, Albany, and West Nyack.

    Maybe these aren't near NYC, but just thought I'd mention them.

  2. OT: Java on Mac by White+Roses · · Score: 3, Informative
    I'm a Java programmer myself, and do a lot of work on my OS X iMac. It's a great environment to work in, and OS X supports Java well.

    Issue: still only J2SDK 1.3 on OS X. Sun seems to like to support people that hate Java (MS) more than people who love it.

    Note: the version of Swing for OS X is Aqua-fied, but still cross-platform, so you write your Swing components and they look OS X native on OS X and like any other Java Swing component anywhere else (try it with Jext to see what I'm talking about). This is because of Apple's great support of the Java platform. It's almost, but not quite, a native language. And did I mention fast?

    Links: Java @ Apple with loads of other links. I find what I need 9 times out of 10. The tenth time, I go to the source.
