I'd like to provide relevant links to specific Apple's WWDC session videos in Stack Overflow questions & answers. How can I obtain a URL to link directly to a specific WWDC video? Ideally it would open a page with the session description and begin playing.

3I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this belongs on the Stack Overflow meta, as the user is asking about how to do things with their posts. – nhgrif Jun 17 '15 at 00:53

@nhgrif The question asks how to obtain a link to a WWDC video, not how to put a link in to a stack overflow question / answer. I've updated a little to clarify this. The (self authored) answer reflects this. The votes and comments indicate that it has been of some use to others. – Benjohn Jun 17 '15 at 22:50

The Videos
Use the following link format (tested for 2014 & 2013):
https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/<the-year-here>/?id=<the-session-number-here>
For example: https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/?id=228
Transcripts
An archive of session transcripts exists at http://asciiwwdc.com. Their format is:
http://asciiwwdc.com/<the-year-here>/sessions/<the-session-number-here>
For example: http://asciiwwdc.com/2014/sessions/302
They are thin on the ground as yet, but big ones are there (keynotes). It's worth throwing in a placeholder in hope of more content arriving.
Linking Pleasure
If you use a lot of links, and who doesn't love the jolly scamps, take a look at SO's own guide to markdown linking. You can do some cool stuff you might not know about.
