Apple has been announced to host its annual Worldwide Developer Conference WWDC 2020 virtually this year. The organization has launched the Swift Student Competition, a chance to highlight their passion for technology by building their own Swift sandbox for student developers.
Apple says, “WWDC20 will be our biggest ever, putting together our more than 23 million global developer audience in an incredible way for a week in June to learn about the future of Apple’s platforms, “said Phil Schiller, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing at Apple. “We can’t wait to meet the global developer group online in June and discuss with them all the latest resources that we’ve focused on to help them build even more amazing applications and services. We look forward to sharing more information about WWDC20 with all of you as we enter this thrilling case.”
“Students are an integral part of the Apple developer community, and last year WWDC saw attendance from more than 350 student developers spanning 37 different countries,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “As we look forward to WWDC20, although our gathering will be virtual this year, we want to recognize and celebrate the creative contributions of our young developers from around the world.
