I would urge you to read the Introduction and the section on "Developing a Software Product With Xcode". These two sections do a pretty good job of introducing the Xcode vocabulary and, without that, you will find the sessions more mystifying than helpful. It would also help to examine a working WO project developed in Xcode to see how the vocabulary presented in those two sections applies to a WO project.
I've been slowly building a small WO project, though I'm not going to have time to get it done before I arrive, I'm afraid. I think with your reading assignment I will be ok.
Java uses a very different environment, and most of the problems I've had with Xcode for WO are problems surrounding the bad fit between Xcode and Java. The bad fit mostly leaves a lot of options, facilities and services that don't fit Java and together form the cruft that makes it difficult to find what you need in Xcode for WO development. The same comments apply to the documentation surrounding Xcode.
Well, for better or worse I won't know what I'm missing. :)

I hope you are right. I started trying to do my project in Eclipse, but decided that dealing with Eclipse, WOLips, the new Entity Modeler and EO Generator all at the same time was just too much new stuff all at once. I've done enough with Xcode now to limp around, so I'm sticking with it until I feel more confident in what I'm doing.

If that's anything like Joementum then run, run away fast! :) It could be contagious!
(for our non American readers, it's a political joke. Email me if you really want to know.)
Good luck at WWDC, wish I could be there.
I wish you could be too! janine _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
