I have enjoyed five or six WWDCs for social reasons, but IMHO they are
a total waste of time if you expect to learn anything technical. All
sessions are geared to the lowest common denominator which means that
in 50 minutes, the presenters have basically explained what the
subject of the session is and are about to say something that is not
common art or well documented. A few weeks or months after the
sessions, all information that was presented is available either in
the press or in Apples samples and documentation.
The issue when you have attended one or more WWDCs is that some
sessions are just repeating what had been said the previous year.
Yet, even within these sessions you can find some interesting
information and moreover some sessions that would look like to be not
of a very great interest reveals themselves to be a crown jewel: the
Cocoa crown jewel last year was the "Cocoa API Techniques" session
IMHO. I have never heard or read a better presentation on the
retain/release/autorelease mechanism and on how to write accessors.
The issue with the information in "the press" is that except for a
report of the keynote, there's nothing. And inside this report, there
is nothing really interesting from a technical point of view.
