Part I: Developer Tools

In this part . . . Your first sip of Cocoa begins with an introduction to the Cocoa development process. Next, it's on to Apple's Developer Tools, where you'll put that process into practice. Part I guides you through the basics of Cocoa development using Xcode and Interface Builder. These two applications form the foundation of your Cocoa experience, and you'll use the knowledge you gain from them throughout the book. To help you understand how they work, you'll build your own working Cocoa application. As you progress through Part I, you'll continue to improve that application, adding features and improving functionality as you go. After you're happy with the results, the end of Part I shows you how to prepare the final application for public consumption.
