Following up on the slew of announcements from this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple late Monday posted to its website a full version of this year’s WWDC keynote address.

The keynote includes announcements such as HomeKit 2, iOS 9, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, new APIs, watchOS 2 and more.
It never hurts when a programming language becomes accessible to a wider audience.
During the WWDC keynote on Monday, Apple announced that Swift 2, the update to its Swift programming language, would receive significant changes.
A number of enhancements to the language are planned, adding Objective-C generics, a faster debug mode, C function pointer APIs and more.
