Product Description
Learn the code. Astound your friends.
Yours free with every Tiger -- a to-die-for package of sophisticated software development tools called Xcode. Whether you're already immersed in soft- ware development or just considering a dip in the programming pool, Xcode lets you create applica- tions, plug-ins, applets, utilities, extensions, and much more. And here, liberally laced with irre- sistible fun facts and foolishness, is a complete crash course in Xcode. You're gonna love it.
Trust us.
* Build your first application right away
* Understand Xcode's built-in compilers, program editor, and debugger
* See how Xcode speaks your favorite language
* Meet the Interface Builder and some classy data modeling tools
"Chock-full of delicious hints, tips, and details. Informative and enjoyable from cover to cover!"
--Mike Rossetti, Staff Engineer, Intuit QuickBooks Mac Engineering Team, ClubMacApp
"You have the makings of a hero, you know . . .
"This is a great time to be a Macintosh programmer. Sure, software developers have always been lionized as the true heroes of society -- their movements obsessively tracked in gossip magazines, their achievements recognized in almost obscenely extravagant red-carpet awards telecasts.
"But Apple's own Xcode gives today's programmers unprecedented advantages. Xcode does it all. The system that allows a curious newbie to add a few buttons and menus to an existing AppleScript is the exact same one that Apple uses to build the next version of the Macintosh operating system. Today, we're all playing in either the deep or the shallow end of the same pool. Awesome, isn't it?"
--Andy Ihnatko

 Great book to learn Xcode and Apple Dev Enviroment with March 30, 2008
Too bad so many people have no sense of humour. Thank goodness the new bred of code monkeys are not such losers. This is a gret book and ANdy and gang do a wonderful job of oresenting this environment. One of the best books to learn the ins and outs of basic Xcode Dev environment.
 great to start out with March 9, 2008

I'm just starting to learn how to use xcode and programming languages in general, and I think this book is a great tool for those of us who have no freaking clue as to what's going on when it comes to xcode.
 Annoying with little return. March 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Straight up this book is nearly impossible to read. It is more focused on impressing itself with it's chatter and giving very little depth on the topic. In particular Interface Builder, which is crucial to understanding how to do more with less in in the Xcode package, is given casual attention. If the gab were eliminated from this book it would be at least half the size, and more useful. I wish I could get my money back. Very disappointing.
Too many jokes, not enough technical detail. July 14, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I buy a lot of technical books, and other books too (history, philosophy, etc.). This is one of the worst technical books I have ever read. There is almost no content, but there are a lot of puns, anecdotes, and attempts at jokes. As Gertrude Stein once said, "There is no there there." I have read the book completely twice now, and I have periodically gone back to look for something specific, hoping I might find it. No such luck.
the mac XCODE!! 2 book February 17, 2007
4 out of 10 found this review helpful
First off for the people who thought this was a cocoa or obj-c book im sorry to say but you must be the stupiest people on the planet. if you read the title of the book it says XCODE!! which is an ide this book is not about how to program or about any programming lanague at all. If your looking for an intro to Xcode, Want to start programming on the mac using Xcode, or are just curious to see what Xcode has to offer buy this book. If you want to learn about cocoa, obj-c, c++, java, foretrain, cobalt, or martian langauge(some people think because this is Xcode it should talk about programming lanagues) this is not the book for you and if you can't understand that then well im sorry. As for the style of this book if you don't know Andy Inhantko then you shouldn't buy this either this is his style he thinks hes a comedian i don't think hes funny either but i know his style so i knew what i was getting into.
