Well, here we are! We have a rough idea of what iOS is and what tools and knowledge we are going to need in order to develop iOS applications. At this point, we are able to understand the integrated development environment (IDE) that will be the focus of our development experience: xCode.
xCode provides all of the tools you need to create and manage your iOS applications. Those applications are projects into xCode, and each project has its source files, the code is built into an executable, and finally run and debug either in iPhone Simulator or on a device. With xCode you have everything you need to design, write, execute, test and build your iPhone applications.

Before going further, I highly recommend you to register as an Apple Developer. Its free and gives you access to technical resources and tools. I am not quite sure, but I think you must be registered before getting xCode. You can find out more information about the advantages of being a register developer and the steps you must follow in this link. It is really easy and it doesn’t take more than 20 minutes.
Let’s make it start! You can download Xcode from this page.
You must be logged in to the iOS Dev Center:
And then go to the “Downloads” link:
Once you have downloaded the .dmg file, execute and install it (it is really easy). In the next post, we will take a look inside xCode interface.
