WWDC 2009 Entrance

I’m back home after a week of traveling and sessions at Apple’s 2009 World Wide Developers Conference. WWDC was just as fun as it was last year and in my opinion more informative. The sessions I attended at WWDC added greatly to my knowledge of the iPhone SDK and the rest of the Mac development cycle. I attended this year’s WWDC courtesy of Apple’s Student Scholarship Program.

After leaving San Francisco late to catch a red eye flight to Chicago, I got stuck in Chicago for all of Saturday. That was alright though, I got a chance to head downtown Chicago and grab a bite to eat at Carson’s (a great rib place). Oddly my MacBook Air broke (or stopped turning on) in the hotel my last night on the road. Luckily my MacBook Air is being fixed at my local Apple store under the warranty.

It’s official, I’m going to WWDC 2009. Several days ago I was awarded the Student Scholarship for WWDC 2009, just today I booked my hotel so there’s not turning back now… WWDC here I come.

Like last year, I plan to live blog the keynote providing I get good enough seats (here’s hoping for 10th row again like last year!) for my Mac blog OS X 411.

Most of all I’ve got to say I’m looking forward to attending the sessions and labs Apple is doing, last year I was looking to learn about the iPhone, this year I’m hoping to do more with the iPhone (and of course Mac). I’ve also got to say I’m glad to have the ability to watch WWDC 2008′s sessions on iTunes for free via last year’s student scholarship (which rocks) and this year’s.
