With WWDC happening this week there has been lots of Apple/Mac news, so I figured I would take this opportunity to put out a list of links and videos that I found worthwhile to read/watch. I hope to do this at somewhat regular intervals so keep an eye out for them! A good portion of these I’ve already tweeted out – but I’ve been told not everyone is on Twitter so here you go!

Videos:

WWDC Videos can be streamed on various Apple devices or thru the Safari browser – for you Windows folks, you can download them in the ‘Resources’ section of each link below. All videos can be accessed from the main page here, https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc2016/. I will highlight some of the videos I think are particular useful.

WWDC Keynote – A good overview of what’s to come - ‘OS X’ is changing to ‘macOS’, macOS Sierra (10.12), iOS 10, watchOS 3, etc!
Apple File System (APFS) – Yup, we’re getting a new file system! (I’m both excited and terrified! Lets hope for good documentation from Apple!)
