Apple's 2014 WWDC kicks off tomorrow with a Keynote at 10am Pacific. Today, attendees are registering for the conference and receiving their usual WWDC badges and WWDC jackets, but Apple also included a $25 App Store gift card.
The gift card is in celebration of "25 years and coding", as noted by @HarrisonW1998:

There's a 16-year-old attending WWDC? Shouldn't he be in school or something? :cool:
I'm an iOS developer in high school, and I'm @harrisonw1998 who tweeted that above--I won a WWDC Student scholarship, and my school administration approved this as a fully excused absence from school, so don't hate! There are 200 student developers that won scholarships to WWDC this year.
Courses and learning of this nature often cost three/four figure sums. Hell, my company spent £3k sending five of us on a 2 day introductory course into SharePoint (I know, I'm sorry too, trust me!) where we learnt more from five minutes on Google than we did the course!
I guess maybe in many people's case their employer paid for the ticket, though.
