Programmers await APPLE's 2008 WWDC with bated breath

Programmers all over the world are waiting for Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference with bated breath. Industry insiders claim that developers consider the WWDC as crucially important to the market as the release of MAC OS X.

What really makes the conference significant is its role as a shout-out from Apple, Michael Gartenberg VP and research director of Jupiter Research is certain that the WWDC is a typical APPLE way of hollering out new developers and inviting them onboard to contribute to the iPhone.

Rumours also claim that the excitement surrounding the WWDC is centered on the release of a brand new, state of the art 3G iPhone, which sets new standards in communication technology. Although the release of a new iPhone will definitely heighten the buzz around the event the impact of the occasion will not be diminished even if no new releases are made.

The scores of developers who are expected to visit the WWDC this year (for the first time in the history of APPLE the event has been completely sold out!) and the applications they will begin to work on is ultimately what will define this landmark affair.

The excitement surrounding WWDC’08 is like never before. Given the tremendous response from people engineers at APPLE can definitely expect to cross path with a wide variety of developers this year. Besides the usual Mac developers analysts claim other mobile developers, internal developers from other related companies etc. will also drop by at the conference. The aim ultimately is to be a part of the iPhone revolution and no one is likely to miss the chance to contribute.

A lot of people, developers and consumers alike, cried hoarse for APPLE to come up with a native software development kit (SDK) for the iPhone when it was released. Despite a lot of pressure from all directions APPLE however refused all such suggestion and stubbornly allowed people to create Web-based programs alone. Now when the time is ripe, when both, the developers and consumers are hackling for a slice of the iPhone’s popularity out comes APPLE from its cocoon and makes iPhone accessible to the developer.

During this crucial delay APPLE has managed to create the App Store, through which it puts all iPhone applications right at the end of a click. The environment APPLE provides through the App Store is both user friendly and thoroughly practical. A lethal combo APPLE has successfully mastered down the years.

APPLE is hopeful that the users who log onto the App Store will get impulsive and make a buy. Much as he does when listening to a song on iTunes. If APPLE’s consumers indeed start functioning the way the company intends to make them then it will reach its aim of 10 million iPhone sales in absolutely no time.
Either way however the WWDC’08 will continue to be a red lettered day for developers everywhere, irrespective of what its ultimate result turns out to be.
