WWDC Wrap-Up

Ok, I’ve painted myself into a corner here. I’m back home finally but I don’t really have anything interesting to add (at least anything that won’t break NDA). Nonetheless, since I started talking about WWDC, I might as well cap it off.

As Gus Mueller mentions here, it seems that this year was much more oriented towards those new to the platform (and there were a lot of them). As for me, I found it a bit annoying to walk into a session and find out it was Quartz 101 or somesuch. I don’t mind the existence of such sessions; I just felt that they were not as clearly marked. It was sometimes hard to tell if a session would (a) tell us something new since last time or (b) touch on something more advanced, either of which I would have been satisfied with. Personally, I’d like to see some indication of level or prerequisites (or lack thereof) on sessions.

And like everyone else, I met a bunch of people and even got re-acquainted with a couple people who I haven’t seen in a decade. Maybe next year I should just skip the conference and just crash the parties…
