Hi all, Help please can some kind soul please point me in the right direction for xcode 4 preview 2 download link. since receiving my email today its has had me going around in circles for an hour or more to no avail. I come from windows programming environment tbh i have only had the mac a few months which was only bought to program my Iphone, I have been waiting for xcode4 as i could not cope with xcode3 and (n) zillion windows needed and hoping xcode4 is akin to visual studio ide for use. Thanks in advance B

Now if only I could motivate myself to code again......for any platform.

It looks like Apple might finally be bringing XCode into the same league as Java IDE's (IntelliJ comes to mind). Things mentioned in the whats-new page have been available to Java programmers for quite sometime.

My biggest complaint when doing Mac development was that after using Java IDE's it was absolutely painful to use XCode. I guess if XCode was all you knew and all you used then it may appear like a good tool. But once you saw what was available for other languages you would be shocked.

Now saying all of this I am real excited about the changes to XCode 4. It does look like Mac development is going to get much less painful!

Could anyone give me a direct URL of the download? It's too slow to download it directly on the Apple Developer site.

Xcode 4 is much different, so I'd say stick with 3.2 until you feel you've outgrown the book.

Loved the write-up Erica! Enthusiasm rocks! XCode 4 looks ~lovely~

It crashes a lot, but its pretty clear that XCode4 is a massive improvement over previous iterations of XCode. Its almost, dare I say it, like IntelliJ for the Apple platform. Development becomes actually enjoyable as opposed to a chore.

I haven't signed up for a paid account yet (probably should though) so I can't play around with it, but the things that get me the most excited about it are not having to use Interface Builder as a separate tool anymore and just doing it all in one window, and the support for git version control. Right now I'm working on a project and have to use git in Terminal and its a pretty big pain (not that I have any issues with using the Terminal for things.)

I dont see why not. It compiles it so you can distribute. I dont think it matters to apple how it got compiled (as long as it was xcode, not adobe...lol)
