Apple Launches Mac Developer Program

Apple has unveiled a new developer program meant as software developers for their Mac computers. This new platform is based on the similar system as the iPhone Developer Program and it will eventually replace the current developer scheme.

The new Apple Mac Developer Program will cost just $99 a year and it will give developers an access to early builds of OS X, developer boards and technical support, plus a range of tools to program software for the new platform.

The main disparity between to the Mac Developer Program and the old scheme is that Apple has removed the hardware purchase program that gave developers a discount on Mac computers.

Apple have seen huge success with their iPhone Developer program, with hundreds of thousands of application being developed for the platform by independent developers, and they obviously see this new Mac Developer Program as a way to increase the amount of software developed for Macs.
