I've never been to a developer Conference before, I don't know what to expect. Is it worth investing in events like this and travel 1000km. Courses and speakers seem interesting enough (O'Reilly, Wiley, Adobe...), but will all this make me better developer?
A:
It doesn't really help you with being a better programmer or anything. But it's a lot of fun, and you get a lot of inspiration, and if you're lucky, you make some connections too. That's my personal opinion.

I've spoken at FOTB the past three years and speak at many other Flash conferences and I have to say that FOTB is one of the absolute best conferences out there. The conference offers a lot to both developers and designers - both from an informational and inspiration point of view.
Let me put it this way. Since I speak at so many Flash conferences I never really bother to go and just attend. However, I'm not speaking at FOTB this year, but I'm flying me and my team over to attend!
