The future of applications goes through the training of new developers. Apple is clear about it, and prefers to detect in its training courses the key pieces of application development in the future. The multinational is so committed to this training of future programmers that Vice President Lisa Jackson traveled to the Federico II University in Naples for the graduation ceremony of the first class of developers. It is a program developed by Apple. Weeks ago we heard testimonies from students, who assured that this training had changed their perspective of professional career. They claimed to have found their calling thanks to the training of Apple.
Europe is home to the most creative developers in the world and we are delighted to help the next generation of developers in Italy who will gain the skills they need to be successful.
According to Apple CEO Tim Cook at the opening of the courses in January 2016. He also added:
The phenomenal success of the App Store is one of the driving forces behind the more than 1,4 million jobs Apple has created in Europe. and presents limitless opportunities for people of all ages and businesses of all sizes, across the continent.
The choice of Federico II University is not accidental, as it is the oldest public university in the world. Well, according to Apple's chief financial officer, Luca Maestri.
We are delighted to be working with the University of Naples Federico II to launch the first Developer Academy.
Apple says that the Italian App Store has somehow influenced the creation of more than € 75.000 jobs in Italy. Lisa Jackson's attendance is not accidental, as it reinforces the concept of the Apple Store, not only as a purchase and technical service center, but also as a cultural and educational meeting point.
