== Starting xCode Xcode ==
Having successfully installed the SDK and Xcode, the next step is to launch it so that we can write and then compile a sample Objective-C application. To start up Xcode, open the Finder, click the ''Macintosh HD'' device in the left had panel then double click on the ''Developer'' folder, followed by the ''Applications'' folder. Within this folder you should see an icon for Xcode. Double click on this icon to launch the tool. Once Xcode has loaded, and assuming this is the first time you have used Xcode on this system, you will be presented with the ''Welcome'' screen. On this screen, click on the option to ''Create your first Cocoa application'' to proceed to the developer documentation screen.
