This course covers the major features of Xcode, the powerful and well-designed integrated development environment (IDE) for developers of OS X and iOS apps. Author Bill Weinman explores the Xcode user interface; reviews the code editors, including version and assistant editors; and shows how to speed up your workflow with code snippets, keyboard shortcuts, and behaviors.

In Xcode 4 Unleashed, renowned Mac/iOS developer Fritz Anderson shows how to use Apple’s powerful new Xcode 4 integrated development environment to develop outstanding software with the least effort possible.

Anderson demonstrates Xcode 4 by walking through the construction of three full applications: a command-line tool, an iOS app, and a Mac OS X application. These case-study projects offer practical insights and realistic best practices for efficiently utilizing Xcode 4 in day-to-day development.
