Xcode lightning talk

What is Xcode?

Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) for macOS containing software development tools developed by Apple.

Which languages does it support?

Xcode supports source code for the following programming languages: C, C++, Objective-C, Java, AppleScript, Python, Ruby, ResEdit (Rez), and Swift.

Third parties have added support for: GNU Pascal, Free Pascal, Ada, C#, Perl, and D.

An alternative to these is using frameworks and tools built on top of Apache Cordova (formerly PhoneGap) such as Ionic which then result in hybrid apps.

v 9.1 new features:

Faster/more advanced source code editor.
Xcode is directly linked to GitHub and will display all of your repos (and allow you to view branches and commits).
New indexing engine runs as part of the build process so it understands your code automatically.
