Good morning, and welcome to WWDC.
We have a big day of announcements about our latest technologies and platforms.
These platforms, and the products they drive, deliver amazing experiences for our users and provide developers with incredible opportunities, so they can use their superpowers to innovate, create, and collaborate, making apps that continue to change the world.
And WWDC is designed to give this community what they need to do their very best work.
We love to support our developers beyond WWDC with comprehensive world-class support and other important initiatives.
We just opened our brand-new Developers Center across from Apple Park where developers can engage with our engineers.
And to reach our global community, this past fall, we introduced our first online Tech Talks for developers to learn more about our new technologies and directly connect with Apple engineers in live sessions and one-on-one office hours.
We are also committed to cultivating the next generation of developers, including efforts to reach underrepresented communities.
So our developer academies teach students the fundamentals of coding as well as other necessary skills to find and create jobs in the app economy.
There are 17 around the world, including the academy in Detroit we founded in October, as a part of Apple's Racial Equity and Justice Initiative.
