Xcode tools getting working without the Xcode CD or external drive?

I would like to get the Xcode-developer things to my Macs. I noticed that Apple has started to offer some terminal things online, more here. I am still lazy to get the CDs, to get all Xcode-developer things, is there some easy way to do it online without the Xcode CD? Is there any way to get all Xcode things pre-installed so not to waste time for their installation?


Xcode hasn't come on physical media for a long time now. These days, you can download it directly from the Mac App Store:
