Apple To Launch First European Development Center (thestack.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Apple has announced plans to launch its first iOS app development center in Europe. The location will be in Naples, Italy, with the center aiming to teach youngsters how to code. The announcement was made 21 January and explained how the center would provide students (children and young adults) the practical skills and training required for developing iOS apps for "the world's most innovative and vibrant app ecosystem". The center will support teachers and provide a specialized curriculum that will prepare the youths to be a part of Apple's developer community.

So they have figured out how to develop iOS apps for Android?
for "the world's most innovative and vibrant app ecosystem"
for "the world's most innovative and vibrant and proprietary app ecosystem"
A first time for everything comes true after all.

Naples? Seriously? Naples? Seriously? ...
i think this university had the official and apple certified lab first by few years:

Europe has been turning into shit for a long time. Has it finally arrived now that we can offshore there?
a reasonable question considering our biases?
Nothing against Italy or Italians, but my sister worked in science in that area and it was absolutely dreadful. Impossible to get things done as many people have that typical 'Southern European work ethic' - appointments and deadlines are more like suggestions. Which is of course an awful generalisation, but it is definitely a real thing.
Naples is also quite literally mainland mob central.
Make them part of your proprietary, locked down ecosystem while they are still young'uns, because nothing says "upstanding company" like using children to augment your future profits.
Maybe a poor analogy but the idea is that Naples is full of shit or at least it was a few years ago.
And by full of shit I mean it literally : it had a major waste problem with piles of garbage littering the streets.
Does it have anything like the "designated shitting streets" in India?
As for the economy, it was all governed by the mafia. Businesses had to pay money to them for "protection".
Not so different from the U.S., where businesses have to pay money to the Music And Film Industry Associations for "license" to stay in business.
I thought an iOS app developer had to be at least 18. Yet the photo at the top of the featured article clearly shows children under 13. How would that work? Would minor children develop and publish apps through their parents' developer account, and then Apple provide some way to hand responsibility for the app down to the child once the child comes of age?
anything to do with the $ billions in taxes the EU is looking to collect from Apple, now does it?
