RIYADH — Apple announced this week the launch of an academy for women developers here, which is the first branch of the Apple Developer Academy in the Middle East.
The Academy seeks to devote its efforts to assist the programmers and developers by preparing them to work in the app economy, through which it will help them, build a professional life in this field.
