I’m not seeing any PDF versions of the documentation. Are they out there? I like to read them on iPad ..

No, there aren't, and it's very annoying. I suggest hitting the "Feedback" button on the documentation and let Apple know - I actually just did that myself because I want to send my graphic artist a copy and can't.

Woohoo! 

Took literally 10 minutes for my Mac to verify "Xcode-beta.app", making me think I hit a bug before even leaving the gate, but it did eventually load...

There's a way around that using:

cd /Applications
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Xcode-Beta.app

but it's safer to let it check the signature on first launch.

I wrote my first watch app - time to update the resumé! It's a weird combination of an iPhone app, iPhone extension, and Apple Watch target that's all resources. Lots of juggling between processes.

There's apparently no way to write watch faces nor apps that run on their own without an iPhone present. :-(

Yeah, no watch faces is a big miss.  Android did that too, but there is a way to hack it, and they are supposedly going to support it officially any day now.  Hopefully Apple comes around quickly as well.  On the positive side, at least Apple doesn't hide your app as much as Android Wear, which buries it way down in settings, down a list that takes 15 swipes to get down to.  Apple has done a much better job showcasing the apps, from what I can tell.

Samsung Gear S is one of the few stand alone smart watches that can run full apps, if you want to learn Tizen!
