At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference this year they gave developers a sneak peak preview of their new Xcode. One thing that Apple needs to stay on top of is their resources for developers. After all, without developers there would be no AppStore, Macs would have less tools and it just goes on. Apple claims to have created a much nicer development experience for programmers and developers using Xcode to create software for Apple devices. When you think about it they’re partly competing with other companies like Microsoft. Developers would prefer developing for a platform with a more comfortable and fun experience. Which ever platform has more people developing software for it will have more software and will attract more users to it because of that! That’s one area where Macs are behind as PCs currently have a lot more 3rd party software. With Xcode 4 Apple is hoping to bring some of the PC 3rd party software to their platform by encouraging developers to jump into Xcode. The biggest change that Apple has made is having Interface Builder built into Xcode so that developers can see everything at once while being organized at the same time. Anyone could see how writing code all day could get boring and Xcode 4 is trying to make it fun again!
