WWDC 2011 Fever

No, I'm not sick in advance of WWDC (ha! WWDC09 sucked…) but rather I'm starting to feel the excitement for what next week holds.

As usual, there is quite a bit of work on my plate heading into WWDC, and I hope to utilize the labs as much as I can to get around the issues I'm currently struggling with. However, this year seems to offer much more intriguing content than last year (Hello, Lion!), so it won't be such an easy decision to skip most of the sessions like I did in 2011.

While I realize there will be videos available afterwards, I like to try and attend the sessions for any new technology that affects me directly. Often Apple will offer labs that relate to the new content, and it's a great place for me to direct my pointed questions to the engineers behind the technology.

But what really excites me about WWDC isn't the content, labs, or even the keynote. By the end of the week, you leave San Francisco with your creative fires stoked, a stronger bond with long-time friends from around the world, and a handful of new ones.

Here's to an exciting week ahead…
