About 24 hours ago, Apple has started notify WWDC scholarship winners of this year. Many of the winners posted the news on Twitter assuring that they had already received the word of Apple, who have awarded them the scholarship and invited them to the conference that will take place in just over a month.
The participants of the contest had to present an application that showed a «creative use of Apple technologies«, As well as a rehearsal of his coding process, something that, honestly, piques my curiosity and I would like to see. In total, the company that Tim Cook runs will give 350 of these scholarships to students and members of STEM y 125 to developers with financial limitations.
Apple Notifies WWDC Scholarship Winners
This year's Worldwide Developer Conference will be held From 13 to June 17 at the Moscone West in San Francisco. Attendees will have access to more than 1.000 Apple engineers and more than 150 labs and events. The importance of these scholarships is better understood when we learn of a price for standard WWDC tickets that amounts to $ 1.599 (€ 1.406), a price that does not include travel and accommodation expenses.
The WWDC has been gaining in popularity in recent years, which has had a lot to do with the iPhone and its operating system, which is why Apple has had to do this type of giveaway. In 2008 they introduced the App Store, Apple's mobile application store, in 2007 we could see the iOS makeover and in 2014 we could see the widgets and alternative keyboards that some users like so much. This year they are expected to present iOS 10, OS X 10.12, watchOS 3 and tvOS 10. Little we can know about the new systems, but rumors say that Apple Music will have a facelift which will include a new design and, what I look forward to more, lyrics for the songs. What do you hope they will present at WWDC 2016?
