Getting Acquainted With My Mac
Nov 16, 07:58 PM By Eoghan O'Brien.
I’ve had my eMac for about a year now, I know they aren’t the coolest looking or the fastest on the block but, for someone new to the mac environment, it has worked well for me.
I’ve installed most of the Web Development applications I frequently use as well as trying out a few more. I’ve really like using MAMP (Mac, Apache, MySQL & PHP) mainly because of how neatly it fits with OSX, its entirely self contained and takes only a few minutes to setup.
Another Mac specific application I’ve tried out recently is TextMate, its a very slick text editor for web developers with built in syntax and spell checking aswell as automatic indentation and a myriad of other features, I’ve actually been looking forward to coding.
I’m still discovering the Mac after 12 years on Windows from 3.1 to XP and I’ve got quite a way to go until I’m even slightly as comfortable as with Windows, I think the Mac undeniable style could be the deciding factor in converting me.
If anyone out there in Interwebland knows some more good applications worth looking at throw me a comment and let me know.
