Help for Beginner Programming on a Mac

[hodgepodge611]

Hey guys,

I just moved up from Java to C++ in my school for my major(comp sci), and I've run into a bit of a problem. It's going to sound outrageous but bear with me:

I downloaded XCode to program on my mac, as it seems it is the only recommended compiler for mac users programming in C++. However, I have no idea how to write a simple "Hello World!" program using this compiler.. It is so complex, is there anyone out there that has experience on XCode that can help me out? Or mac users that could show me how they started C++ programming on their macs?

Please, Thank You, and sorry for the dumb question.

Writing the program should be exactly the same between different OS's (unless OS specific items are used). You need to look up compiling with XCode.
