AppleApple today announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will take place from June 11th to June 15th 2012 in San Fransisco at the Moscone West Center.

“We have a great WWDC planned this year and can’t wait to share the latest news about iOS and OS X Mountain Lion with developers,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “The iOS platform has created an entirely new industry with fantastic opportunities for developers across the country and around the world.”

The event will feature more than 100 technical sessions covering topics for developing, deploying and integrating iOS and OS X technologies. Hands-on labs will provide developers with code-level assistance, insight into optimal development techniques and guidance on how they can make the most of iOS and OS X technologies in their apps.
