MacHack and the WWDC both had seen marked declines in attendance during the last few years until last year. At that time, attendance rose, a little, for the first time in several years. This year MacHack is seeing record attendance and this means that the underlying mood among developers is positive. The issue of students follows similar lines. Any computing platform must see new, and in some degree young, developers entering the market.
New ideas are always important.
When we see students paying attention and enrolling in conferences like MacHack we can see that there are more students around the country who think that the Mac platform is an area where they can make money. To summarize, what is good for MacHack will translate into good things for the entire Mac market.
