If you’re looking for the latest tidbits about iPhone apps and their development, then Apple is more than happy to help you out.

In their latest attempt to outreach to developers of the smartphone, beginning at the end of October, Apple is holding a worldwide series of absolutely free tech gatherings about the iPhone, giving developers a chance to talk directly with Apple engineers and supporters and get all their questions answered about developing for the iPhone.

The talks are planned to cover a wide range of topics, from an introduction to Objective-C and Cocoa Touch to how to integrate the iPhone into a business/IT environment. Other subjects include submitting your app to the App Store, iPhone Game Development, and a 2-3 hour Technical Q&A.

There are twenty-four talks being held in sixteen countries between October 22nd and December 9th, though space is limited (the one in New York is already full, according to reports). In order to attend a talk, you must be a Registered iPhone Developer, which you can do for free on the Apple Developer Connection website.

This represents a huge step forward for developer relations for Apple as a company, and will do nothing but help its adoption among programmers and aspiring designers alike.
