Apple Announces Schedule for iOS 7 'Tech Talks' Tour in U.S., Asia, and Europe

Wednesday September 25, 2013 12:25 pm PDT by Eric Slivka
Back in April after tickets to its Worldwide Developers Conference sold out in just two minutes, Apple announced that it would be launching a series of Tech Talks later in the year, taking seminars and hands-on help to a number of cities around the world.

Apple has now announced the schedule for the Tech Talks, which will focus on iOS 7 with two types of programs: one for general app developers and one for developers focused on games.
Get in-depth guidance about developing for iOS 7, learn practical coding tips and tricks, and obtain valuable one-on-one programming and design assistance in our lab. Choose which day is best for you — app developer day or game developer day.
The tour schedule includes:

App Developer Days
- San Francisco: October 8
- New York: October 15
- Tokyo: November 6
- Shanghai: November 12
- Berlin: December 12
- London: December 17

Game Developer Days
- San Francisco: October 9
- New York: October 16
- Tokyo: November 7
- Shanghai: November 13
- Berlin: December 13
- London: December 18

Interested developers must apply for spots at the events by 10:00 AM Pacific Time on Friday, September 27, and Apple has included sample agendas for the two types of events to help developers select which one they wish to attend. Attendees will be selected at random from all qualified applications.

I can save you some money and sum this up.
How to iOS7 your apps:

1. Change all your icons into lines of text for people to read through, and make all your text a very light blue, 2pt font, and float them disjointedly in blinding white space, to make everyones eyeballs burst as they strain to read it.

2. Design your icons with a jumble of Flourescent Orange Yellow, and Pink, and randomize gradients all over them.

3. Use an assortment of graphical styles in your iconography, from 1px wide line art to solid fill shapes to some 1950s skeumorphic imagery to abstract disassociative non-linear progressivism with transgenic subordinate geometric proportionality from the future. Mix em up. All on one screen, if possible.

4. Only do any or all of this on about half your apps, and let the others be.



Shoot for inconsistency wherever possible. People love that.
