Apple’s WWDC: A Whirlwind Tour
Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference took place again this year in San Francisco, kicking off with the Steve Jobs keynote.
The iPhone 4 announcement came as no surprise to any Gizmodo readers, but for most developers, this didn’t matter: the conference highlights typically come AFTER the keynote anyway. And we were rewarded with a new XCode, Safari 5, and other goodies that I can’t talk about because the rest is under NDA!
However, there is lots to show and see outside the NDA, including some of the amazing women developers. So come along and get a taste of the keynote line, the structure of our days, the parties, and a peek at some of the wonderful attendees who make WWDC such a fun and educational event:
Lastly, if you are a certified Apple developer and want to see the sessions you missed, Apple has released them for FREE to all registered developers!

One of the previous Pages also, to get more of a feel for what I'm working on:
Hello world!
I'm maxiie, and I found this lj community through the linuxchix site and I must say I'm extremely exited to be here! So I thought I'd post an introduction to say hello to the community!
Ok, where to begin? My name's maxiie, I'm a self-professed girl geek of many things. I've been using linux for the past 2 years now and I've been feeling like I'm drifting ashore a desert island. I live in a small town in england where, despite the heavy amounts of art students pottering around, they all seem to be mac users with no clue of open source, let alone about linux. The few people I do know and see often who use linux have only started using it since I introduced it to them.
I dont run any other OSes than Linux/GNU ones- I tried windows about a year ago on my new pc and I didnt want to invalidate the warrantee by re-partitioning the HD, but I got so utterly frustrated, I formatted the computer and set up my partitions to run linux / XP dual boot. I then Never used windows ever again, and decided to just use linux solely and the rest, as they say is history!
I'm not utterly n00by but i am prone to ask RTFM questions, so please don't flame me (another reason I joined the community!!).
IRL, I'm a photographer / artist / musician, I speak english and Osaka Dialect Japanese (Albeit badly). I'm Bi, a Feminist and glad to be here!!
Eveything else is in my interests lists; heracio diem!
IRC Python tutorial: Feb 4th 2006 19-22 UTC
From the announcement email:"The topic is Python for people who can program (at least a little), but don't know Python at all. We will cover the very basics: syntax, basic data types, lists, dictionaries, control structures, functions, classes and objects, and modules. Or possibly less, depending on how time allows. Certainly not all the details of everything. Most of the examples will be about string manipulation, since that is common in most kinds of programs."
Feel free to join in!
