Today, the WWDC 2010 has begun. As every year, the first day of the conference is mainly dedicated to the keynote. In reality, after the keynote there are three important sessions where Apple engineers show what they are going to demonstrate during the rest of the week.

The keynote started as usual at 10am PST, but people were in line already at 2am to be as close as possible to the stage.

A lot of news and new features for the developers were prepared by Apple. They are are under NDA, so no details can be reveled. As Steve Jobs said, more than 1500 new features will be available for the developers.
Among hundreds of features presented today, for sure the more interesting for the developers is the new version of IDE, Xcode 4.0. It has a completely redesigned interface and many changes that will speed up the development process. Apple engineers did really a great job.
HTML5 had also its own role in the long day of today. New tools empowering the HTML5 were demonstrated.
And finally, the new video and image processing capabilities of the new iPhone 4 combined with the fantastic iOS 4 power were presented during the last speech of the day.
Tomorrow, we will get a deeper overview of these new stuffs.

WWDC 2009: The Keynote

I am not going to review all the new products announced during the keynote. I imagine you have already watched the keynote online and digested the fantastic news. Yes, you already know about the new MacBook Pro line, the Mac OS X Snow Leopard at 29$ and the new iPhone 3Gs, the Exchange integration, Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL. And, if you don’t know what I am talking about, I suggest that you visit the Apple web site, immediately.

It has been a very long day today, but it was worth to come here. Things are becoming better and better for Mac and iPhone developers. The new versions of Xcode, Dashboard and Instruments (available in Snow Leopard) are amazing. I cannot disclose the details, because I am under NDA, but Xcode is in my opinion the best compiler on the market. Apple is reaching the top and nowadays, if you are a developer and you never tried to use the Apple developer Tools, I think you are at least 10 years behind.

When somebody tells me “Xcode is not so good as Visual Studio or Eclipse”, it means only one thing: she/he does not know how to use Xcode. I am going to install Snow Leopard on my main machine together with the new iPhone SDK. Because I want to take advantage of the new technologies as soon as possible. Now, it is also the right time to start again Mac development beside iPhone development.
