This script is a bash script that should work out of the box without any needs of extra software or development package.
Its main purpose is to let you bulk download all WWDC videos and PDF session presentations in one shot. Current script version does support WWDC 2015, WWDC 2014, WWDC 2013 and Tech Talk 2013.
Please note that 2015 sessions does come with associated sample codes.
Using options, you can choose to retrieve HD or SD videos and set destination folder (default is SD).
Storage size required for 2015 resources:
- HD videos: 126 GB
- SD videos: 33 GB
- Sample codes: 600 MB
- PDFs: 262 MB
If for some reason you do not have downloaded all in one shot, the script will resume where you left off and does not download again everything.
The spirit of the script is to be working on everybody's Mac environment without need of special tools. That's why it is based on curl (vs wget).
Note: I know the script name is crap, but believe me, if you knew me you'll know that it could have been even worse ... :).
Also, I know this script use far too much lines of code. But this was just for me a playground in playing around with Bash. Then I kept going like this since WWDC 2013. Don't blame me ;( - I'm a marketing guy.

[Not updated] If you have Alfred 2, there is a workflow to search for sessions by title name or alternatively search in session speach transcription with asciiwwdc.com.
Works on MAC OS X.
Should also work on Linux systems (as long as you change output directory): never tested!
