Getting Around in Xcode
Xcode is the integrated development environment (IDE) that Apple uses for developing Mac OS X, iPhone, and iPad applications. It is a suite of applications that includes a set of compilers, documentation, and Interface Builder.
Using Xcode, you can build your iPhone and iPad applications from the comfort of an intelligent text editor, coupled with many different tools to help debug your applications. If you are new to Xcode, this appendix can serve as a useful guide to get you started quickly.
At the time of writing, the version of Xcode available is version 4.2. It is available as a free download from the Mac App Store.
