CocoaLove 2015 playButton

CocoaLove 2014

CocoaLove is an annual conference that focuses on the people, rather than the tech. My goal with this talk was to show that one of the greatest success stories in tech history, Apple's rise to dominance in the 2000s, was largely due to a number of key people on Apple's team working in concert. It was more than just well designed products, in other words, that made Apple great.
