Extending Xcode

I gave this talk during Cocoa Kucha 3 in Berlin - a 6:40 minute format, which is basically a lightning talk.

The talk focused on building BBUDebuggerTuckAway, a very simple Xcode plugin which hides the debug area once you start typing in the source code editor, which served as an example for writing your own plugins. The idea sparked from this tweet.

You can find the slides here.
