...went by like a blur of illuminating sessions and great conversations. I enjoyed it all, including the chance to help developers find appropriate implementation approaches and diagnose and fix problems in the Application Technologies lab. (Really!) Thanks so much to everyone who attended for helping to make this another fantastic WWDC!

Toward the end of the week, I started to focus on final preparations for my own Friday afternoon session. There's always cause for at least a little anxiety when preparing to deliver a talk to an audience of a few hundred people. But when the time came, all the pieces fell nicely into place. I had a lot of fun giving the talk, and I hope that those attending found something useful and/or inspiring to take away from the material and sample code.

It's surprising how quickly things get back to normal after the show leaves town. Time now to turn our eyes to the open road ahead, and get underway toward the Next Big Thing. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the coming year has in store for the Mac platform. At today's rapid pace of development, the sky's the limit.
