Apple Seeds Xcode 7 Beta 6 to Developers

Apple today seeded Xcode 7 beta 6 to registered developers, more than two weeks after releasing Xcode 7 beta 5 alongside the fifth beta of iOS 9.

Xcode 7 beta 6 can be downloaded from the software update mechanism in the Mac App Store or through the Apple Developer Center.

xcode7beta6
Xcode 7 is designed to accompany Apple's next-generation operating systems: iOS 9, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and watchOS 2, all of which will be released to the public in the coming weeks. Xcode 7 supports Swift 2.0 and includes new features like user interface testing and updated playgrounds.

Is anyone seeing this in the software update mechanism in the Mac App Store?
I haven't seen Xcode BETAs in there before (I've seen OS X Betas).

As far as I know, Xcode has never been in the MAS as a beta version. You'll need to get those from the Developer website.

When my 27" iMac comes in, I think i'm going to give xcode a whirl. Time to start learning how to program.

No time like the present. Just dive into Python now.

Python comes preinstalled with OS X and Linux. It's really easy to install on Windows, too.

With Xcode 7b6 shipping with iOS9b5 SDK, it looks as though there won't be a iOS9/watchOS2 beta 6 this week :-(
