<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Most books about Apple development focus on coding for the iOS and Mac APIs, and only incidentally cover Apple's Xcode development tools. But Xcode offers developers many powerful opportunities to become more productive and write more reliable, efficient code. With Xcode 5, Apple's development toolset is more powerful than ever. What's more, Xcode 5 is required for developers who want to create apps that take full advantage of the new iOS 7 or Mac OS X Mavericks operating systems.<BR> <BR> <B> <I>Xcode 5 Start to Finish</I> </B> focuses squarely on Xcode 5, helping both iOS and OS X programmers gain a deep understanding of this remarkable toolset, so they can use it to become far more effective developers. Drawing on 30 years of experience developing for Apple platforms and helping others do so, Fritz Anderson focuses on real-world development challenges. He places testing, source control, and other workflow skills where they belong: as part of the process of using Xcode, right from the start.
