Hi everyone. Second post here, First post about lappys can be found here: http://www.appletalk.com.au/forums/index.p...ct=ST&f=3&t=592 (http://www.appletalk.com.au/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=592) (it may be relevant)
and I'm a bit of a mac noob.
Actually I am a complete mac noob!
Anyways more to the point. I am currently looking at getting a laptop. Normally I would go straight for a PC based one. But I really like the size and look of the mac 12" lappy's. And added to the fact that OSX is based around unix, I think I should be sweet for what I want to do. Also having another type of architecture to play around with would be fun. Already got a windows box, and a linux server. A mac would be new ground to play on.
I want it for uni. I am doing a computer science course. Which means lots of programming and messing around. Most of it is done on unix machines.
So my question is this. Who here programs on a mac? Are there any good IDE's available? I know I could use gcc, but is there anything along the lines of MS's IDE's?
