Introduction:
We are pleased to announce the realization of a pioneering event in Spain, specifically in Zaragoza and in which the development of applications for iOS 5 will be promoted, an operating system that devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad have been enjoying for now. weeks.
In APPcity 2012 we wanted to emphasize two concepts:
- Training: iOS 5 brings many new APIs and other new features such as the notification center or integration with Twitter to name a few. It is about updating your knowledge as a programmer or getting started in this world based on the fact that iOS is a really attractive operating system for the development of apps.
- Network: this space is another of the attractions of APPcity 2012. Here we will have a place where we can share ideas, discover new companies, meet colleagues from the union, investors ... It is about facilitating the meeting between professionals of any level while learning and fun come together to share ideas. There will be exhibition spaces, stands of sponsoring companies, islands of new products, new accessories and much more.
Actualidad iPhone will be at APPcity 2012 in person. We will cover the event and we will have our own space for all those who want to meet us and be part of this project that arrives for the first time in our country in style.

Why will APPcity 2012 be held in Zaragoza?
Spain is very present in the development and consumption of applications for mobile devices. We are more than 13 million users with a Smartphone, the penetration rate of these terminals is 37% and we lead the ninth place in the world ranking of application downloads.
The choice of Zaragoza as the nerve center of the event is due to various reasons:
- Strategic geographical location that offers a similar distance to the main Spanish cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao or Valencia.
- The hotel and transport infrastructure is really good. On the one hand, Zaragoza has already hosted important events such as Expo 2008 and access by motorway, AVE or plane are its main attraction for you to come to APPcity 2012 wherever you are from.
Once Zaragoza has been chosen as the venue for APPcity 2012, it remains to choose the building that will house this project. The Expo Zaragoza Conference Center will be in charge of welcoming us thanks to its more than 22.000 square meters of surface and its maximum height of 34 meters.
The Palacio de Congresos is located on the banks of the Ebro river, has ample leisure possibilities, offers four and five-star hotels close to it and its proximity to the main tourist attractions of Zaragoza make it the perfect building to hold the event.

- Programmers- Discover and learn new techniques and tools while meeting industry colleagues with whom you can share experience and ideas.

First to comment and I do it from Zaragoza with a great desire to be able to win that entry to be able to participate in the 2012 appcity here in my hometown a huge hug to the friends of actualidadiphone for making this news known, which for us "maños" who are involved in the world of iOs is wonderful news!!! really thank you!!!!!
Sorry for the duplicate comment because of the emotion, not with the spirit of SPAM hahaha greetings again and thanks!
Don't worry, now I delete the duplicate comment. Wonderful city Zaragoza but chaotic to move now by car because of the tram huh. Greetings and see if we meet a few in February.
UAUAUAUAUAUUAAAUUUUUUUUU !!!!!!!!!!!
impressive, it is a strong investment but it is worth it, and at home
now only the web looks good, big nerd ranch !!!!!! buaaaaaaaa, a course of these people is worth a pasture, if you look at it there it is cheap hahahahahaha tomorrow I sign up
thanks for the info
I wish I could win the entrance really is a thing that I am passionate about, it would also be great since I do not have sooo much money (not even remotely we go ajjaj) to pay for an entrance I am a university student, and money is the right to eat in the cafeteria to go out Ahahahaha greetingsO!
Are you from Zaragoza? I say this because the event lasts 4 days and that implies an additional cost in accommodation, food and transport. Keep that in mind. Greetings!
yes I live here I mean there ajajjaja but I am 19 and since I do not have 700 or 600 or 300 euros to spend sopeton x many gans I have x that I would like to win the entrance ... if I had enough money I would go without thinking ... but it is not Anyway, on top of that, the most probable thing is that I will have final exams on those dates…. SHIT ajjaja a greeting
Finally, it is worth being from Zaragoza. I wonder if it will be worth it if you are not a programmer but in the future you would like to create applications for iOS
Completely. I find myself in that situation so in addition to representing Act. IPhone, I also go as a user who wants to enter this world. The Big Nerd Ranch training is sure to be very powerful, no question.
I sign up to that situation tmbn and on top of Big Nerd Ranch ?? WOUUUUUU! who does not learn like this ... it is useless !!! ajja just kidding!
I am from Zaragoza and I would love to attend, but the price is quite high for me, to see if there is luck in the draw haha.
By the way, Nacho, is the promotional code that you have put as written or just the number?
It is as it is written (spaces included). Anyway I have to speak with the AppCity organization tomorrow to confirm the price of the ticket. If you want I will send you an email when I have the answer. All the best
I am eager for more information. Especially the issue of the discount and the contest 😉 I sign up without hesitation!
But the official price does not include accommodation and food (at least half board)? It is that if it is not so, it seems to me expensive as hell x very interesting (it is), whatever.
The price corresponds only to the entrance. Whether it is expensive or cheap depends on the valuation judgment of each one. It seems really cheap to me when much simpler courses are being taught without much prestige for the same money or more. This is a unique opportunity but I repeat, each one decides if it is worth paying the 695 euros for the ticket in the end. Participate in the draw, there the play can turn out very well. All the best!
the subject of expensive or cheap, I see it for the possible content, a course of the big nerd ranch can be in 1000 euros, plus transportation and diets; I see it as an investment in the future, and if I end up doing an ANGRY BIRD ?? !!!! hahahahahaha
from what I have learned, there are also people using them and Latin America already asking for other forums.
I hope I don't run out of place
NACHO, a question? If several registrations are made at once, is there a discount?
that is, if a few of us sign up together?
I forgot to comment but yes, discounts are offered if you are a company and have three or more employees. For that you have to contact the organization. If you are not a company, I do not know if they will apply discounts to groups. Anyway, you can always take advantage of our promotional code to save something.
.
On the official website of AppCity 2012 you have the contact address in case you want to ask about group discounts. Greetings
THANK YOU NACHO !!!
It does not seem expensive for four days, but not being from Zaragoza it gives me that it will be almost impossible ... I am now starting to become autonomous to develop apps and it is not that about money ...
Let's see if there is any luck with those tickets ...
Let's see how the sales of our first programs and games are going and if it goes well, see you in Zaragoza.
NOOOO !!
Why tracks?
I would like to attend the Unity ...
but I have a little stupid face having the iOS event piece.
Do you see it a waste?
PS: I think the best thing to do is make sure who's coming for Unity and how hardcore it's going to be.
You have the complete info of all the tracks on the Appcity website. If you have any questions, ask me. All the best!
