WWDC Sessions on iTunes Music Store

They did the right thing!

Tonight when I got home from work, I found this in my e-mail box:

Apparently, Apple used to provide video of WWDC sessions, but last year, they opted instead for streaming broadcasts of the sessions via “ADC TV”. With no mention of session videos at this year’s WWDC, everyone pretty much assumed the worst; for many, this was right up there with the quality of the food as a sign that the good old days days of the WWDC were long gone. So nay-sayers, say nay no more. Or something.

As of 12:45 this morning, there are 108 sessions available for viewing, with more sections labelled “Coming Soon”. Each session seems to contain an eBook of slides and a video of the presentation itself. (I’m not talking about what sessions are or are not there, because of the often-stressed NDA.)

Hopefully now that Apple has done the right thing and released all of this content, the dev community can take a deep breath and get back to coding the next wave of great apps for Leopard. Mine is already in progress…
