Last year, many millions of developers engaged in WWDC, and we expect millions more to join us again this year. These ongoing efforts empower all developers with the tools, technologies, and inspiration to change the world for the better.

Alumni have gone on to secure major funding and see great success on the App Store. The first camps were for female founders, and this past year, we expanded the camps to reach Black and Latin founders. Our Entrepreneur Camps provide developers from underrepresented communities with mentorship, inspiration, and insights from Apple. And in Saudi Arabia, we launched our first developer academy for women in February. There are 17 around the world including the academy in Detroit we founded in October as a part of Apple's Racial Equity and Justice Initiative. So our developer academies teach students the fundamentals of coding as well as the other necessary skills to find and create jobs in the app economy. We are also committed to cultivating the next generation of developers, including efforts to reach underrepresented communities. And to reach our global community, this past fall we introduced our first online Tech Talks for developers to learn more about our new technologies and directly connect with Apple engineers in live sessions and one-on-one office hours. We just opened our brand-new Developers Center across from Apple Park where developers can engage with our engineers. We love to support our developers beyond WWDC with comprehensive world-class support and other important initiatives. And WWDC is designed to give this community what they need to do their very best work. These platforms, and the products they drive, deliver amazing experiences for our users and provide developers with incredible opportunities so they can use their superpowers to innovate, create, and collaborate, making apps that continue to change the world. We have a big day of announcements about our latest technologies and platforms. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Tim Cook: Good morning, and welcome to WWDC.
