Neither is WWDC. Aside from the keynote, the rest of the week is under NDA and devoted to teaching developers about the new tech in Mac/iPhone/iPad/whatever and helping them figure out how to use it, not to major product announcements.
And it is incredibly helpful if you've got a major problem that you need help with. One on one with engineers who built the frameworks! I've had multiple major problems either solved/worked around, or been put in touch with people who can solve them each time I've been at WWDC. And I'm not alone in that.
- rbanffy 16y agoI find this NDA thing deeply disturbing. It's like EULAs that prohibit you from publishing benchmark results. Seen a couple those. It's a policy designed to fragment the developer community in a way they have only Apple to resort to. Not healthy, IMHO.
