How does this make IBM Cloud different?

View How does this make IBM Cloud different?

Other cloud platforms do not offer a comprehensive view for Apple developers. IBM Cloud makes it easier so developers can spend more time in Apple’s integrated development environment for macOS — Xcode — and less time in the deep corners of documentation.

What benefit will this provide the developer community?

View What benefit will this provide the developer community?

Developers can instantly start coding in Xcode and innovating with IBM Cloud services like IBM Watson Visual Recognition and IBM® Push Notifications. It’s not necessary to spend days or weeks combing through documentation and setting up a development environment.
