I will be in Seattle December 9th for Apple’s iPhone Tech Talk World Tour. There is an agenda [PDF] available. The topics seem fairly straight forward and basic. However, it should be a good place to directly ask Apple questions related to iPhone development.

I’ve been getting a number of questions from programmers about iPhone development. I thought I would compile the answers into one place and push them out into the world.
