Macintosh programming

Softage Macintosh team profile

The Macintosh (often called "the Mac"), introduced in 1984 by Apple Computer, was the first widely-sold personal computer with a graphical user interface. The Mac was designed to provide users with a natural, intuitively understandable, and, in general, "user-friendly" computer interface. While Macintosh users represent only about 5% of the total numbers of personal computer users, Macs are highly popular and almost a cultural necessity among graphic designers and online visual artists and the companies they work for.

Technologies

Here is the partial list of technologies that we use:

	Cocoa is Apple Inc's native object-oriented application programming environment for the Mac OS X operating system.
	Carbon is Apple Inc.'s procedural API for the Macintosh operating system, which permits a good degree of forward and backward compatibility between source code written to run on the older and now dated Classic Mac OS (Version 8.1 and later), and the newer Mac OS X.
	Xcode is Apple's suite of tools for developing software on Mac OS X. Xcode 2.4.1, the latest version, is bundled free with Mac OS X v10.4
	RealBasic (RB) is an object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language developed and commercially marketed by REAL Software, Inc in Austin, Texas for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux.
