Xcode to attract Apple developers

Apple Computer Inc. wooed developers at its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco recently with the release of Xcode, a new set of developer tools that pave the way for future Mac OS X development. The toolkit offers a Unix-based development environment with a new user interface and new technologies including, Fix and Continue, Zero Link and Distributed Build. The environment’s performance is a claimed five times faster than previous development tools, meaning developers can swiftly bring their applications to Apple’s next-generation OS. The Xcode Fix and Continue feature means developers can make live code changes to a running application and see their effect immediately without the need to restart. Reduced development turnaround times are achieved with Zero Link, which removes the linking stage for all development builds.
