that's an unanswerable question along the lines of "what use is a
newborn child?", but i can say -- having had a day out in Burlingame --
that i found the US version interesting.
from Apple's point of view, i'm a Java developer, though i'll write a
bit of C++ or or Objective-C++ to improve the Mac OS experience. there
was only one other guy i heard mention Java (in the Xcode session, where
he asked if Xcode's Java support had improved), though because in the US
there were always several sessions going on at once, i may just not have
chosen sessions that were popular with Java developers. i see that the
European tour chooses for you, and there are several there that i'd like
to have gone to, but couldn't because they clashed with ones that i
thought would be more interesting.
i'm disappointed on your behalf that the high-DPI talk from the US tour
is missing. that was the best of the day, because it was interesting,
educational, and useful in its own right, even if you'd just walked in
off the street and not even heard of Mac OS.
if they do another one for 10.6, i'll put my name down for that too,
even though it's quite hard to sit through Cocoa stuff without being
increasingly frustrated that more people (our good friends at Sun being
a prime example) don't understand the importance of designing libraries
with applications in mind.
a shame that it was all under NDA, because there were a few things i
think would be interesting to a Java-developing audience.
