I was there – and, I'm sad to say, I didn't have a good time at all. Besides being crowded and noisy one couldn't hear the presenters. The audio was muffled, but it wouldn't have mattered because about 90% of the crowd was jabbering away during the different presentations, anyway. Very few people were focused on the screen.

Speaking of the screen where the demos were being shown; the projector they were using was pretty horrible. There was a pink cast across the whole screen further diminishing the quality of the presentation. I won't even go into sharpness issues.

The crowd seemed pretty clannish, also – with people seemingly talking to just the people they came with (or work with). I tried, to strike up conversations with different people, but it wasn't that easy…and the overall noise level didn't help either.

In any case, the concept for this party is great. I just hope they do it a little more professionally next time. Better venue, better projector, better mics and a set-up that will encourage people to shut-up, watch and listen when a developer is talking about the app they spent countless hours on. They deserve that much respect.

Anyway, that's just my experience. I'm hoping next year will be much more improved. The concept is great, at least.

This looks like it was a lot of fun.

I'm thinking of flying myself down to Macworld next year (hopefully with cheaper tickets) to be the youngest developer there
