Xcode From a CodeWarrior Perspective

This chapter introduces key features of Xcode from the perspective of CodeWarrior users. Understanding the similarities and differences in these features should help you put your CodeWarrior experience to work in Xcode. It will also be useful in converting your CodeWarrior projects.

Important: This chapter concentrates on differences between Xcode and CodeWarrior, and does not provide a comprehensive overview of Xcode. For a more complete feature list, see Xcode User Guide. For a brief tutorial introduction to Xcode, see Xcode Quick Tour Guide.

Though there are many minor differences between Xcode and CodeWarrior, you’ll find that Xcode supports most of the features CodeWarrior users are familiar with. Xcode also provides a great deal of flexibility in organizing the environment for the way you like to work, as described in “Customizing the Environment.”
