WWDC 2006
I have just registered for WWDC 2006. This will be my first Apple developers conference since the Apple II days. Although I am quite excited about Leopard, the new Mac OS X release due in early 2007, I cannot avoid thinking that the OS glory days are already well behind us. It really looks like that in the near future all applications will be accessed through the browser.
Developing today any kind of application that does not allow users to create some kind of content that will ultimately be published to or shared through the web seems to be a recipe for failure. Most of these applications are written today in languages other than Objective-C on server platforms that are definitively not Macs.
Even so I do not lose my faith in Apple and I am sure that Steve Jobs will deliver new technologies that will make us developers want to spend more time working with XCode. I will keep you posted!.
