There were tons of informative sessions at Drupalcon in Portland! Except for the ceaseless rain and the fact that my roommate canceled at 1 pm on Monday, it was a wonderful conference. And I loved the Women in Drupal reception.
I took all levels of sessions, and I learned a lot about Drupal 8 and the process occurring with creating it. My favorite sessions were Asset Management in Drupal 8 and Making Drupal 8 Mobilicious. I loved learning more about what goes on behind the scenes in Drupal with the Asset Management session, and Drupal 8 will have seamless mobile integration with REST in core.
Here are the links to the session videos:

What were your favorite sessions?
