#2> The WWDC, sacred nerd summit of Appledom, is where they announce things like a new “night mode” for the operating system and try to convince programmers that Apple Watch matters.
Bloomberg got an honest laugh out of me.

#3Sent this to all of my non-techie friends who asked wtf GitHub was and how it was worth $7.5b.
Great read.

I don't see why this is relevant for this article, though…

They aren't right, either. I wasn't exactly wowed by the public-facing announcements (other than the Siri-related stuff) but there's some nice stuff in the side sessions...and the Apple Watch is somehow the hottest product in both wearable devices and watches at the moment.

#7I think the author nailed it. This is Microsoft's chance to reach out to developers and prove that they've had a change of heart regarding open source.
We've seen this over the years with previous code hosting platforms. If the platforms betrays it's users, developers are not scared to mass migrate to something else. The onus is now on Microsoft to keep developers happy or risk losing their $7.5B investment.

And are they not expected to make some product announcements at this conference?

That to me is what DotNet Core is, along with Asp.Net, Entity Framework many years ago, and everything developer related becoming open source.
GitHub is just a signal to people who have been out of the loop, bloomberg and many linux developers.
When I start dropping my apps on their systems, they might be surprised how well they run.

It is funny, but (for the benefit of those who haven't been to one) also a complete mischaracterization of WWDC. The keynote has always been "dumbed down" for press/analysts desperate for between-product-launch news, with most of the juicy stuff saved for in-depth developer technical sessions.
