Looking to help out aspiring iOS developer in Europe, Apple will finally be opening its first iOS App Development Center at the Università di Napoli Federico II in Italy. The program starts in October and will run for nine months. It isn’t open just to Italian students but to applications from anywhere in Europe. There will be two parts to the program with the first half going into iOS software development and the second half focusing on app design and startups.
Aside from that, Apple has partnered with Italian organizations and companies to help with course content and students have access to on-campus labs with the latest Apple hardware and software. There are 200 students who were chosen to participate. They had to go through a test and interview and afterwards they get into the program for free. Apple plans to bring this course to other parts of the world as well with the next location being in Bengaluru, India.
