Getting started
Before we can jump in and get our hands dirty, there are a few things we need to do. We'll start off by installing Xcode and looking at where you can access beta versions of the software when they're available. Then we'll get set up with the developer accounts we made in Chapter 1, Overview of iOS Development. Finally, we'll look at setting up a new project.
