The assistant editor allows you to work in multiple files at once. This movie shows how to open the assistant editor, and how to use it effectively.
- [Narrator] So let's go in detail…about the assistant editor.…You may remember earlier in the course when we talked about…what the assistant editor is.…Remember the editor is this area in the center of the screen…and the assistant editor divides that into multiple areas.…You can get to assistant editor by simply clicking it…in the tool bar.…It's the two circles that are overlapping.…When you click the assistant editor,…you're going to see two files.…One on the left and one on the right.…
You can choose how the assistant editor is organized…by using the fly out menu.…So do you want the assistant editor on the right,…on the bottom or do you want them…stacked horizontally or vertically?…For this course, I'm going to stick to using them…on the right but you can use…your personal preference should you choose.…At my screen resolution, I really don't have a lot of space…to write using these assistant editors.…But if you want more space you can always hide the left…and right areas to expand your working area.…
On the left and the right,…

Instructor Todd Perkins shows how to build a brand-new user interface (UI) with buttons and menus in Interface Builder, Xcode's intuitive UI design tool, as well as advanced designs that adapt to screen size, aspect ratio, and orientation changes. He reviews the version control and storyboard features, as well as the basics of schemes and behaviors. Plus, learn how to compile and debug apps, test apps in the iOS Simulator, and send your app to Apple for distribution in the App Store.
