Apple's WWDC Pre-Registration Opens & Schedule Posted

It is time once again to pre-register for Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to be held this year from May 6 - 10, 2002 at San Jose's Convention Center in San Jose, CA.

Apple kicked off the WWDC pre-registration today and is offering some very cool pre-registration incentive packages. Those registering before April 15, 2002 pay $1,295 for the conference, a savings of $300 off the normal price of $1,595.

Additionally, Apple will offer a special WWDC 2002 Getting Started bundle until April 15, 2002. Aimed at developers new to the Macintosh platform, the Getting Started bundle includes attendance at WWDC 2002, a full-year Apple Developer Connection Select membership, a discount on one Apple Macintosh system (including 1 CPU and 1 monitor), and more. And this goodie-packed bundle comes in at only $1,695.

WWDC 2002 sessions will cover all aspects of Mac OS X development, from Networking and Security to Internationalization Technologies. Don't miss this opportunity to learn to:

-- Port your Java or UNIX-based application to Mac OS X and exploit the Cocoa object-oriented frameworks to add a state of the art, Aqua user interface

-- Take advantage of the OS services, high-performance networking facilities, and modular design of Darwin, the UNIX-based, open source core of Mac OS X

-- Use the Carbon API set to bring your current Mac apps to Mac OS X or use the Cocoa API set to quickly build Mac OS X-only apps from the ground up

-- Develop web applications for virtually any Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) or Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) capable server using WebObjects

-- Create high-performance, elegant applications with Mac OS X development tools, including Apple's Project Builder, Interface Builder, and AppleScript Studio

-- Include sophisticated graphics and multimedia capabilities in your applications with Mac OS X's powerful graphics technology layers: Quartz, OpenGL, and QuickTime
