Well, this will cover some of Day 1, too. I was way too tired to post at the end of the day because after all the WWDC excitement was over for the day, I got to put in a few hours building a new release of Safe Eyes to fix a couple bugs. I worked with a couple guys in the Mac lab Monday afternoon to get our broken build process (Xcode 3.1 had broken it) back up and running and there were a few things in Safe Eyes 3.1 that needed fixed, so I worked into the wee hours getting a build ready and passing it along to our QA guy so he could do his part. It was a bit of a challenge since I’m here with my MacBook (not my primary build machine) and had to get everything set up just right for building.
Then, yesterday, the day was jam-packed with sessions. There were some good ones (all of which are covered under NDA) and I learned an exciting new thing about the debugger in Xcode that alone might have made the whole day worthwhile.
We finished it off with a quick dinner at California Pizza Kitchen (awesome) and a meet ‘n’ greet with a few fellow programmers. We just sat around for a couple hours and chatted about our respective companies, positions, and history. It was good to get to know them. One of them was one of the guys invited down by Apple to have a first crack at the iPhone SDK. He and a co-worker churned out a pretty good sample/proof-of-concept app in 2 weeks with no Interface Builder, no previous coding experience with Objective-C and on a very beta/alpha SDK. Respect that!
Well, it’s off to more sessions. I’m drinking way too much coffee this week, but I’m also doing pretty good on drinking my water, so hopefully I can balance it out.
