[Year 12 SofDev] Programming Environments on the Mac

[Neil Wallace]

Hi Claudia,

We're not fully Apple but I do use one personally.

We moved from Visual Basic to Java which has been quite tricky. Kevork has been legendary with provision of some resources.

The idea was to use android as the end goal but in practice XML creates a bit of a blockage that I've not yet been able to overcome.

Although the students are using Windows versions of Eclipse my MacBook Pro runs the same thing just fine.

All the best 

Neil
