WWDC: The Gathering

June 13th, 2008 by ken

Once a year, Apple hosts the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. This year there are 5000+ developers here. A lot of developers wonder if going to WWDC is a good use of time and money. The short answer is that this is the event of the year for Apple developers and it should not be missed.

Just as important as the sessions, lectures and labs is meeting and hanging out with the people who have gathered here. The first WWDC I attended in 2005 was my initiation into the Apple dev community… I didn’t know a sole. I started working on Ecamm full-time shortly afterwards and now, three years later, I’ve met so many great people both here and at other events that I can hardly turn a corner without seeing a familiar face.

I know I’ll see many of them later this year at C4, some of them at MacWorld in January, and probably all of them next year at WWDC 2009.

Thanks to everyone for a great week!
