Urban Informatics goes to WWDC 2011
For the last several years the AUC (Apple University Consortium) awards a number of competitive and allocated national scholarships to students and staff at AUC member universities to attend Apple’s premier developer conference, WWDC (World Wide Developer
Conference).
This year Peter Lyle of the Urban Informatics Research Lab is among the (above-average) seven scholarships awarded to members of QUT!
WWDC is a hugely popular event (selling out thousands of tickets in a few hours this year) that brings together developers and representatives from around the world to both network with each other and learn about Apple’s current and upcoming innovations in technology. In addition to five days of interesting sessions, there is the unique opportunity to interact directly and receive technical assistance from the Apple engineers responsible for the technology that forms the basis of the iOS and OS X software platforms.
