Hi Matthew,
After the WWDC finishes, will attendees receive a DVD containing
movies of all the sessions and other discussions? There used to be
sessions posted on the Connect site, but no more - why is this? I
found them to be very useful.
I suspect I'm not alone in that quite a few people on this list are
indie developers who would have to pay their own way, and perhaps fly
in from other countries. The DVD would be one of those thngs that
really help persuade me to go.
Also, approximately how many people attend the WWDC? Just wondering
if people ever miss sessions because there are too many people and
they don't sign up in time.
Regards,
Simon
