Where is "Developer" folder?

I want to learn how to develop for iOS devices, but I don't have a Mac, so I virtualise OS X with VMWare.

I'm just beginning in Objective-C, so I just made a simple view with a button. I built my first project into the simulator, and that works fine, but I want to use my iPod for developing.

I know this issue was fixed in others topics, but I have a problem. I don't have any folder named "Developer" in the root directory of my HDD (and so, I can't do "cd /Developer/"...)

How is this possible? I'm sorry if my question is stupid, but I'm really a beginner in the Mac environment.

Since version 4.3 Xcode is a single app in your Application Folder.
Before 4.3 Xcode was located in /Developer. That has changed, you can find the "developer folder" inside of the app package. Try cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/.

You didn't say why you need to be in that folder so I don't know if you will find what you are looking for. It is possible that files have been moved to different locations.
