WatchKit Resources—Week 1

November 25, 2014    

It's now been a week since Apple's WatchKit was announced, and I've been collecting resources. I figured this would be just as good a place to put them as any.

If you run across more resources, feel free to let me know on twitter. Enjoy.

Official Apple Resources:
