- The most important thing to know before you begin building applications using Mac OS X is that it's very likely that the cross-platform development technologies you already know are built in to the platform. Mac OS X delivers a wealth of development technologies, from the advanced productivity of the Cocoa object-oriented frameworks, to full J2SE 1.3 and 1.4 implementations, to a vast selection of common UNIX tools and scripting languages. Apple even provides the advanced Xcode Tools software development environment free of charge with every copy of Mac OS X so that you can start building great applications as soon as you get your Mac. |
