WWDC 2007
Friday, May 18, 2007
I'm heading down to San Francisco for the Apple Developer (WWDC) conference in just over three weeks. I'm really looking forward to geeking out for a week.
In my dreams, Steve Jobs will reveal an iPhone SDK, uber-thin portable Macs with touch screens, and secret Leopard features that are so great they will double the Mac market share (not to mention free iPhones for all attendees Oprah style)... I guess we'll have to wait and see.
One the sessions that I am most looking forward to is Developing Web Sites for iPhone:
iPhone completely redefines browser-based web access on a mobile phone. Learn iPhone best practices for ensuring optimal web development of your existing website, or hosted web application. Join the iPhone Safari and WebKit browser development teams as they share the latest techniques on mobile browser-based user experience design and development.
I can't wait to design some software for the iPhone and until Apple releases an SDK for the iPhone it looks like the web is going to be the first way to get content on there. Will it support Flash, javascript, forms, Ajax? Can we avoid the zoom-in zoom-out thing if the web page is designed for the size of the iPhone screen? I'm looking forward to finding out...
Of course I've got my schedule packed with Cocoa and Graphics sessions too. Hopefully I can figure out the kosher way to do some of the things I have hacked together for T2 (because there is little documentation of the new Leopard features at this point).
If any of you are going to be there, let's hook up for a meal or a something. I'd love to meet some new folks in the Apple universe. Let me know.

Really disappointed at the lack of any blog updates or Timeline info since May 2007. It's getting harder and harder to believe there's any Timeline development still occurring.
JFW, sorry for the delay. I'll try to get some updates on the blog starting today.
