setting up Xcode for learning?

Factual Questions
1

I’m currently going though a book on learning programming through C++ and I’ve found Xcode to be quite cool. But the program is HUGE, and I understand very little of it. I’m sure as I progress I’ll get more and more of it, but still, I am wondering if i’m doing things right. I figured the best way to get a way to practice all of this would be by simply making a new project, so I chose:

Command line utility under C++ tools

Now the “Hello World” program in the book is a lot more simple, but anyway, it seems to work well. But I get a save dialog everytime I try to compile and run it. Is there some way that I can simply get a window to try the code and then another with the output? I’d just like to click a button and see the results with very few intermediate steps at this point.

So, you’d just like XCode to automatically save your file when you click “Build & Go?”.
To do this, go into XCode Preferences and click on the “Building” Icon. On the lower-right of the “Building” preference page, there is an option named, “For Unsaved Files”. Change the dropdown from “Ask Before Building” to “Always Save”, and then click “OK”.

Does that help?
