Apple Launches iPhone Developer Tech Talks

Apple appears to be trying to make it easy for developers to learn about iPhone programming. Apple has launched a set of free iPhone developer tech talks across the world.
Don't miss this unique opportunity. The event is free, but space is limited.
Apple technology evangelists and engineers will soon be traveling the globe bringing iPhone development expertise to a city near you. Learn about the tools and technologies you'll use to create great iPhone applications, then work with the experts to optimize your code, refine your user interface, and apply the knowledge you gain from the sessions to enhance the capabilities of your iPhone application.
The first scheduled talk is on October 22nd in San Francisco, with additional U.S. sessions scheduled for Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago, New York and Seattle. International locations include cities in Europe, India and Asia Pacific.

(View all)I hope they expand the list of locations. How about Boston? We could use a session here! :)
Yeah hopefully they'll expand locations!
Amazing.
Now, could we have some more MacBook pictures please :-)
Sounds interesting. I bet there is hundreds of people that want to develop an iPhone app but don't know how.
Apple's problem is not with a lack of developers. Even if that were the case they can't teach Objective C in a 6 hour pep talk. I've been to other Apple technical sessions. They really are more like a half day "infomercial". It's not 100% Apple's fault, what else can they do in such a short time?
The problem with developing for the iPhone is that after you have invested many hundreds of hours and have a product ready Apple rolls the dice, flips a coin or whatever and either accepts your work or rejects it. So you have to be ready to invest the time and have it be for nothing. A lot of developers don't want to accept that risk.
Apple needs some very clear rules, to apply them in a transparent manner that we all can see and remove the NDA from the rejection process. With Apple's current process developers have an unacceptable risk
How about make these available on Podcasts so I don't have to go to the class.
There's at least a half-dozen videos about iPhone/iPod touch development. I think you need to be a registered developer, however the registration and videos are free.
