MacHack 2003

Dan Steinberg (MacDevCenter.com) posts some notes from his experience at MacHack 2003.

Unfortunately, MacHack 2003 coverage was limited as it was obscurbed by the excitement surrounding this year's WWDC. WWDC was rescheduled within days of the 2003 MacHack conference this year.

MacHack is a developers conference with an 18 year history and a unique Hack Contest. Dan Steinberg sets the mood:


    One of my favorite features is still the conference bag. Want one to match mine? Next time you're in a grocery store and they ask "paper or plastic" answer "plastic." It sets the tone for the conference. No fancy giveaways. No frills. We're here to learn from each other, to code together, and to hang out with people that care about the same things we do.

    No time for a nap -- besides there's the unofficial conference motto that "sleep is for the weak".
