New York sources have stated that Indian-origin Anvitha Vijay is only nine years old but she has already developed a handful of apps for Apple’s iPhone and iPad. Recognizing her potential, the US-based technology giant has invited her to its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco and this has made her the youngest participant at the event considered the Mecca for app developers.
Vijay who lives in Australia, was facing a ‘cash crunch’ when she decided to build a mobile app, with only $130 in her piggy bank not enough to pay a developer to build the app for her — she decided to take matters into her own hands and spent a year watching free tutorials on YouTube and internet to learn how to program.
On Monday, Vijay will join thousands of other developers to be a part of the WWDC 2016.
