Apple?s new Xcode 3 is the most powerful Mac development suite ever created. In Xcode 3 Unleashed, renowned Mac developer Fritz Anderson has written the definitive guide to making the most of Xcode 3 to build any Macintosh or iPhone application. Anderson leads you through a simple project that covers the entire Xcode 3.x development lifecycle. You?ll walk through building and debugging command-line tools, creating Mac OS X user interfaces, modeling data, localizing languages, compiling applications, and much more. Along the way, he introduces each of Apple?s remarkable development tools from the latest version of Interface Builder to Instruments?a powerful new tool for analyzing and optimizing your code. Anderson shows how to manage your source code in any environment, whether you?re working solo or participating in a worldwide team. He thoroughly illuminates Xcode 3?s build system and shows how to make the most of Apple?s performance tools, led by the deep and powerful Shark statistical profiler. Systematically updated for Xcode 3.x, this is a comprehensive revision of Anderson?s previous bestseller, Step into Xcode. Its breadth, depth, and practical focus will make it indispensable to every Mac developer: experienced programmers upgrading from Xcode 2 or migrating from CodeWarrior; UNIX/Linux programmers moving to Mac OS X; even new programmers.
