Os x sdk equivalents to windows

Hey guys, i'm fedup of having to boot into windows to do my programming. can you guys suggest me some equivalent sdk's for my programming language? I study the following:

C, C++, Java, Dr Scheme, Swi Prolog, Plpg sql (Postgre), Html, javascript, css, php, ajax, celenium. A friend of mine told me that xcode is very good but i dont know how to use it. Basically, i've been using my mac to do windows programming since i bought it.

In my computer graphics module, we do open gl programming (Which i'm using c++ express edition to code), google sketchup, 3ds max, maya.

what's the os x equivalent to visual studio? I want to dump windows and do all my programming in snow leopard now, but i dont know if visual studio has an equivalent in os x.

 

Xcode is no good. The only reason people use it is for OS X development, which is mainly in Objective-C, and Xcode is the only decent IDE that supports the language out there.

Eclipse is always a good choice, and supports most of the languages you have listed above.

 

ok, so there is an eclipse sdk for os x? I have googled a bit and dreamweaver cs4 is available for os x. I use easy php on windows for the webserver. Is there a good alternative for os x? Also, what about the c++? Is there an sdk for it?

 

Eclipse does C++, you just have to install the plugin for it.
Dreamweaver is nice for PHP, as are Eclipse and Textmate.
You can download the various versions of Eclipse here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

 

wow, i always thought eclipse could do only java. i guess i was wrong. I found something called cdt development here. I have to do a few tweakings to get it working with c++.

 

I stand by my statement that textmate is the best editor for php/ajax/rails/etc EVER.

 

netbeans is an alternative to eclipse that achieves mostly the same end result.

 

If you are used to Visual Studio you may find Eclipse a little rough around the edges. And buy some more RAM, lol.
Also, download the Carbon version on OSX, the Cocoa one is wonky.

 

isn't 4gb enough?

@Patrick: is textmate better than dreamweaver? i want to install dreamweaver cs4 on my laptop and give it a go. the windows version is nice.

 

Textmate is a highly advanced text editor, but it's not a full blown IDE. It's like a more advanced Notepad++, with the ability to compile and run stuff, but without stuff like built in debuggers (although you can add a 3rd party debugger in manually).

 

Totally, I was making a joke. Eclipse is a known memory hog. Make sure you edit the eclipse.ini to bump up the max RAM it can use.

 

hey guys, is there a c++ ide like visual c++? i've searched but it looks like i have to tweak eclipse to get it running. code blocks does not work and textmate is not free. I tried xcode but there are way too many options.

 

There are 4 reasons for me to run windows on a mac. Windows Live messenger, Excel, Powerpoint and Visual Studio. There is no good replacement for them. The Mac version of Office is no where as good as the windows version and Open office is just laughable.

If you learn how to use Visual Studio you will never want to switch. The best you can get is Netbeans for OSX.

When you have some time have a look at Code::blocks ( http://www.codeblocks.org/ ) some of my friends like it better than VS even (not me)

 

yes, i love visual studio. its the best c++ ide out there but i'm fed up of restarting my laptop everytime to log on to windows.

 

Then run Windows in a VM. If there's one thing that MS did right, it's Visual Studio. If you don't use it, it'll be more hassle for an inferior IDE.

 

netbeans is pretty interesting. you are right bro, nothing can beat vs. the problem is that u have lots of viruses on my windows partition and using it as vm will make my mac very slow. i'll virtualise a clean copy of windows xp. 5gb should do it.

 

Haha I did most of my C/C++ coding in college with vim.

 

Cause you are a champ.

 

hey guys, can someone link me to the prolog editor for mac os x? i cant seem to find it. thanks.

 

Emacs? I've only edited prolog in a text editor and then compiled it with SICStus Prolog separately before.

 

no, our lecturer gave us an swi prolog editor. but it's only for windows. i wanted the mac version.
