CodeWarrior was originally developed by Metrowerks. Metrowerks was a company that developed software development tools for various desktop handheld embedded and game platforms The first versions of CodeWarrior targeted the Macintosh, with much of the development done by a group from the original THINK C team. Macintosh, commonly nicknamed Mac is a Brand name which covers several lines of Personal computers designed developed and marketed by Apple Inc THINK C was an extension of ANSI C for Mac OS developed by THINK Technologies although named Lightspeed C in the original mid-1986 release it was later Much like THINK C, which was known for its fast compile times, CodeWarrior was faster than Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW), the development tools written by Apple, and as of August 2005 is still faster than Apple's gcc based Xcode development tools. Macintosh Programmer's Workshop or MPW, is a software development environment for the Classic Mac OS, written by Apple Computer. Apple Inc, ( formerly Apple Computer Inc, is an American Multinational corporation with a focus on designing and manufacturing Consumer electronics Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The GNU Compiler Collection (usually shortened to GCC) is a set of Compilers produced for various Programming languages by the GNU Project Xcode is a suite of tools for developing software on Mac OS X, developed by Apple.
CodeWarrior was a key factor in the success of Apple's transition of its machine architecture from Motorola 68K processors to PowerPC because it provided a complete, solid PowerPC compiler when the competition (Apple's MPW tools and Symantec C++) was mostly incomplete. The Motorola 680x0 / m68k / 68k / 68K is a family of 32-bit CISC Microprocessor CPU chips and was the primary PowerPC is a RISC Instruction set architecture created by the 1991 Apple – IBM – Motorola alliance known as AIM Symantec Corporation, founded in 1982 is an International Corporation which sells Computer Software, particularly in the realms of security Metrowerks also made it easy to generate fat binaries which included both 68K and PowerPC code. A fat binary (or multiarchitecture binary) is a Computer program that is native to multiple instruction set architectures (ISA and thus can be run on multiple
However, after Metrowerks was acquired by Motorola in 1999, the company concentrated on embedded applications, devoting a smaller fraction of their efforts to compilers for desktop computers. Motorola Inc ( is an American, multinational Fortune 100, Telecommunications company based in Schaumburg Illinois. An embedded system is a special-purpose Computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions often with Real-time computing constraints On July 29, 2005, they announced that CodeWarrior for Mac would be discontinued after the next release, CodeWarrior Pro 10. Although Metrowerks did not detail their reasons, the demand for CodeWarrior had presumably fallen after Apple began distributing a free IDE with Mac OS X. In Computing, an integrated development environment ( IDE) is a Software application that provides comprehensive facilities to Computer programmers In addition, Apple's switch to Intel chips left Metrowerks without an obvious product as they had sold their Intel compiler technology to Nokia earlier in 2005.

During its heyday, the product was known for its rapid release cycle, with multiple revisions every year, and for its quirky advertising campaign. Their "geekware" shirts were featured in the fashion pages of the New York Times. [1]
Origin of the name
During the 1990s, Apple Computer released a monthly series of developer CD-ROMs containing resources for programming the Macintosh. Apple Inc, ( formerly Apple Computer Inc, is an American Multinational corporation with a focus on designing and manufacturing Consumer electronics CD-ROM (an initialism of "Compact Disc Read-Only Memory " is a pre-pressed Compact Disc that contains data accessible to but not writable These CDs were, in the early days, whimsically titled using punning references to various movies but with a coding twist; for example, "The Hexorcist" (The Exorcist), "Lord of the Files" (Lord of the Flies), "Gorillas in the Disc" (Gorillas in the Mist), etc. The Exorcist is a 1973 American Horror film, adapted from the 1971 novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty, Lord of the Flies is a 1963 Film adaptation of William Golding 's novel of the same name. For the similar named song see Guerillas in tha Mist. Gorillas in the Mist is a 1988 film which tells the true-life [1].
One of these, volume 9, was titled "Code Warrior", referring to the movie Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior (known as The Road Warrior in the U Later Apple dropped the whimsical titling in favour of a more sober "Developer CD series", but Metrowerks picked up the CodeWarrior theme and used the name for their new developer product. (However, the first documented use of "Code Warrior" was actually earlier, in 1987, when Tech III, Inc. published "Code of the Code Warriors" as a manifesto for programmers. )[2]
CodeWarrior CD packaging was very much in the tradition of the Apple developer CDs, featuring slogans such as "Blood, Sweat and Code" in prominent lettering. Competing products such as Symantec's THINK C were more conventionally marketed. Symantec Corporation, founded in 1982 is an International Corporation which sells Computer Software, particularly in the realms of security THINK C was an extension of ANSI C for Mac OS developed by THINK Technologies although named Lightspeed C in the original mid-1986 release it was later
