Apple WWDC preview: more student developers tap coding for career development – The National

Apple will be putting more focus on student app makers at its Worldwide Developers Conference next month as interest in coding continues to drum up interest among the younger generation.

The third edition of the Swift Student Challenge is a centrepiece of the iPhone maker’s annual convention, which gathers its 30 million-strong army of developers from around the world.

Apple’s student programme is also a potential gateway to a career in app development, which can prove lucrative as the global app ecosystem expands alongside the growth of users’ increasing reliance on digital tools.
