Went last year and there were a couple of good courses (the guy from Snappy Touch stood out). Otherwise, I don't get a lot from AGDC except for a couple of days off.
IUGO will be there! If any devs are interested in meeting and hanging for a few drinks let me know! It's always good to catch up.
Yeah, if you're local or can get there on the cheap I'd check it out... Otherwise just save up to go to the main GDC in San Francisco. There's really no comparison between the two.
I'm stoked to go! There's a number of speakers that I'm looking forward to. I think it's gonna be killer! And smaller is a good thing...more time to chat and it hopefully won't be as hectic.
I'll be there as well, there is some iphone party or something on wed, but i wouldn't mind setting up something with some other folks here.. drinking and talking about neat portable graphics is always a blast
