The Cheshire Academy students who teamed up to create tooble recently attended the 2008 Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco, CA – June 9 – 13. For (see photo, l to r) Forest Fang ’10, Steven Abbagnaro ’08, Praveen Savalgi ’06 and Jesse Youngblood ’08, it was the thrill of a lifetime.

The WWDC is an annual educational conference of technical workshops with Macintosh software developers where the latest Apple technology from Mac designers is showcased. It also includes sessions where attendees get to test drive state-of-the-art programs.

“The amount of experience and education was outstanding,” said Steven. Forest was excited to learn more about the Mac since he will spend his summer at home in Shanghai, China creating an Asian version of tooble. “It’s unavoidable that this conference will change the way you think,” said Praveen.

Jesse, who wrote over 10,000 lines of code to produce tooble, entered his program in the prestigious Apple Design Awards in the Best Mac Student Product. This award is usually given to college students so the competition is top-level and tough. Although he didn’t win, he was delighted to meet so many talented professionals under one roof.

This summer, Steven, Praveen and Jesse will be working for tooble, llc where they expect to develop more features and develop marketing plans to reach even more users in both PC and Mac platforms.
