I think that's a huge mistake, especially for a beginner. Xcode 4, for all its faults, makes certain things *so* much clearer and easier. Just to give a simple example, consider forming an action connection from a nib to code. Instead of having to work in two applications (Xcode and Interface Builder), you work in one application (Xcode). You can form the connect just by dragging from the sender to the target; Xcode will even write some code for you. And in Xcode 4.2, if you write an IBAction method and *no* sender is connected to it, Xcode actually tells you so by an annotation in the gutter.
My point is that Xcode 4 makes both concepts and implementation much easier. And that's exactly what beginners need. If the book you're using isn't updated for Xcode 4, I'd suggest you use a different book. m.
