Creating a Project

Every software product starts out as a project. A project is the repository for all the elements used to design and build your product—including source files, user interface specifications, sounds, images, and links to supporting frameworks and libraries.

Xcode is a great application for creating and managing projects. Xcode can be used to build a wide variety of software products, ranging from Carbon and Cocoa applications to kernel extensions, libraries, and Mac OS X frameworks.

This short tutorial shows how to create an Xcode project for a Cocoa application called Hello that prints “Hello, World!” inside a window. Along the way, you get a chance to explore some of the basic features of Xcode.
