Book description

A solid guide that responds to the active interest in Apple's Xcode tools

Apple's Xcode tools are a collection of applications and frameworks that are used to develop, test, and optimize applications primarily written for Mac OS X or the iPhone. The steady increase in sales of Apple computers has triggered a strong interest in gaining a thorough understanding of Xcode and its tools and what they have to offer. This book provides you with an inside look at the array of Xcode tools from top to bottom.

You'll go beyond the basics and dive into such in-depth topics as installing the latest version of Xcode tools, customizing the look and behavior of Xcode, creating and managing projects, using the built-in class browser to model complex applications and structures, and more.

  • Offers you a solid foundation for getting the most out of Apple's Xcode tools, a collection of applications and frameworks used to develop, test, and optimize applications written for Mac OS X or the iPhone

  • Includes clear, comprehensive lessons for installing the latest version of Xcode tools, customizing the look of Xcode, creating and managing projects, testing your interfaces, and building and debugging your projects

  • Explains analyzing performance, optimizing your application, working with shared sources, creating your own custom file templates, and customizing the interface builder

With this book, you'll be able to take full advantage of the range of tools included with Xcode.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.
