Previewing Apple's WWDC 2016: Big news for iOS 10, iPhone 7, new iPad Pro: "A few are obvious, such as continuing work on Xcode, the company's development tool for building iOS software, and Swift, Apple's new development language that's taken off and gained enthusiastic adoption despite its fledgeling newness. "

Looking forward to seeing what mission critical features are gutted from Xcode Mac Development to make way for script kiddies making crapware for the iPhone.

Apple, Inc. opens up access to its WWDC developer utopia: "Another reason why the hands-on labs are seen by developers as being a priority at WWDC is that Apple now makes the videos of its technical sessions available almost immediately, through either the WWDC app or iTunes. "

Favorite aspect of the new WWDC. Although everyone, I'm sure, would love to attend, it's just not feasible.

Apple unveils Swift, a brand new Xcode programming language for developers: "In a demonstration, Apple showed off the 'Swift Playground,' where developers write code and how results are displayed as soon as code is written. Apple says Swift was designed from the ground up for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Swift can be used for basic apps, like social networking, or advanced 3D games using the new 'Metal' graphics optimization. And because it operates alongside Objective-C, developers will be able to seamlessly interchange languages."

Looking forward to Swift and Metal. Together or individually.

WWDC 2014 Roundup: Enhanced iOS 8, redesigned OS X 10.10, new hardware (plus fresh details) | 9to5Mac: "It is also uncertain which or if any of the above devices will be introduced at WWDC. Perhaps these are in store for later this year or next year."

I think it's a good sign that all of this is just speculation. Nobody let the cat out of the pajamas. Wait. As for user interface fashion, I'm still working on my HUD controls. HUD is dead, long live the HUD. Aqua is dead, long live the aqua.
