The issue when you have attended one or more WWDCs is that some
sessions are just repeating what had been said the previous year.
If an interested party may be permitted a comment (and a plug), I
would like to say that one important function of WWDC is to
disseminate information about new APIs, for which formal documentation
may be somewhat scant. This year there is much that is new, e.g.
sessions 404 et seq. In my own session, 421, I can say that although
the title and description sound rather like last year's, the talk will
be almost entirely new--both because I will be discussing new APIs,
and because I will be covering different aspects of the Cocoa text
system.
If there is some new Apple technology that you would like to learn
about, or even one that is simply new to you, then WWDC is an
opportunity to hear it explicated by its developers. Different people
have different styles of learning, however, and it is always open to
you to use written materials, the WWDC DVDs, mailing lists, etc.
instead.
Likewise, while my own session on Cocoa 2D drawing techniques will have
some review of the material I presented last year, I will be going into
rather more depth in my segment (since I can now assume that attendees
know what an NSView is), and Troy Stephens will be discussing the
changes in Panther that affect 2D rendering in the AppKit.
