I see your point.
Guess I'll have to look into upgrading to Xcode 4 and finding Xcode 4 oriented books. Its a real burden to use a book that isn't tuned to the tool version you are using.
Thanks

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.
