I'm a huge fan of conferences, I like documentaries and any kind of media that teaches something. And as a software developer I must say that there are lots of good resources for us to learn, to keep updated in technologies, concepts and general practices.
One of the best presentations I've seen so far is
Alan Kay's keynote at OOPSLA 97, I don't know if there are any transcripts of it, but it is very valuable to listen what the man has to say, recommended.
