Apple provides a wealth of information, products, and services to assist developers. The Apple Programmers and Developers Association (APDA) provides access to development tools to anyone who wants them. Qualified commercial and non-commerrrrcial developers may gain access to additional information and services through the Apple Partners and Associates programs. These programs are administered by Apple's Developer Programs organization. In addition to automatically becoming APDA subscribers, Partners and Associates also have access to the information and services provided by Apple's Developer Services organization.
