WWDC '08 sessions posted
Apple has posted a listing of the sessions which will be offered at this summer's World Wide Developer's Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco.There are three tracks to choose from: Mac, IT and new this year, iPhone. Of course, the Mac track has the greatest number of sessions available, and poor IT is dead last.
Early bird registration has begun, so purchase your ticket and make your hotel reservations. And if you're an iPhone developer, we're really waiting to see what you come up with.

Seems like Apple has been pushing IT aside. It would be sad to see them get out of the server business. Even though there isn't much incentive to get an xserve any more other than ease of use. And if you want that you could configure a Mac Pro with OS X Server. Maybe Apple is just planning something big for IT in the future and needs to phase everything out for now. Who knows... Apple isn't that easy to predict.. unless it involves the iPhone ;-)

There is a huge advantage to having an xserve, or at least there will be soon: Parallels Server. Virtualize Leopard and Windows and Linux all on one xserve.

VMWare Fusion can already virtualize Leopard Server, Windows (back to 3.1 if so inclined), and Linux all on one xserve. Or a Mac Pro...

An interesting all-but-confirmation of another rumor is one of the seminars on the iPhone track: "Utilizing Offline Data in Safari"...

@ColonelSmith:
It'd be nice if you and every other Chicken Little-alike on the 'net right now would just kind of be cool. Here...did you happen to actually READ the site? Let me help...
"The first set of sessions and labs now are available—with many more coming soon. Make sure to bookmark this page and check back often for the latest additions."
Anyone who's a WWDC regular will know a couple of things. The first is that the initial posting of sessions is NEVER the full list. The second is that the session list will continue to be revised until the conference starts, and in some cases while it's going on.
Another thing...don't you think maybe it stands to reason that the iPhone sessions are already heavy in the listings? Especially since _Apple employs the majority of iPhone coders_? Most of the IT tracks are run by non-Apple types, in my experience, so I'll bet it takes longer to get them on board.
