Genre: eLearning
Making good use of Xcode has become a popular topic. We published 14 Essential Xcode Tips, Tricks and Resources for iPhone Devs a month ago and it%27s still our most popular post.

When Mike Clark from the Pragmatic Programmers asked us to review his new Becoming Productive in Xcode screencast series, I mistakenly figured that - given the time I%27d spent preparing our piece - there%27d be little new to learn. There%27s a lot to learn from these screencasts; read on for details:
Episode 1: Essential Shortcuts

Whenever I learn a new editor, I stumble along using little more than basic text editing skills and a few advanced tasks whose keystrokes I%27ve somehow memorized. Eventually I find myself working with someone who has really mastered the editor and, in no time at all, modeling their usage, I%27m a power-user. Mike%27s first episode, “Essential Shortcuts”, makes a great power-user stand-in.

Episode 2: Power Moves

The second episode covers text macros (text fragments that expand into functions, control structures and other common text blocks), user scripts (external code that processes file text or automates tasks), templates (for projects and files), and building.

Summary
If the first hour you spend in Xcode is spent alongside Mike%27s “Essential Shortcuts” it%27ll be time well spent. It%27s be the fastest way to get up to speed and, at $5USD, it%27s a bargain. Hold off on the second episode until you need custom macros or templates, user scripts, or tweaks to the your build process.
