On the other hand, I work a few blocks away from Moscone. I'll meet people for lunch or dinner in SoMa, and go to the evening parties
I'll buy all the session videos on iTunes for $499, thought. That's what I think it's worth
.. but the WWDC content was not worth $!500 to me. I was very disappointed by the advanced sessions I was so looking forward to....
Some people were confused yesterday by my saying I won't be attending WWDC. I had a great time @ WWDC 2009, met lots of great developers ...
Don't get me wrong, the firehose was on full force at WWDC 2009. But "a firehose of content" != "advanced content"
I don't think I will attend WWDC 2010. I was disappointed last year by the many "advanced" sessions that weren't advanced at all.
