Random thoughts after one week of Mac(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by sdormansdorman(1415) 4 years, 4 months ago

All those thoughts led to a consideration: an OS as good as the applications that run on it. An the more the apps, the higher the probability that there is a great app for your needs. This is true for Windows, but a little bit less true for OS X: probably because there are less developers willing to develop on the Mac, and I guess it's because the horrible Objective-C needed to develop native Mac Apps. read more...

For the past few years I've heard a lot of hype about dynamic programming languages like Python and Ruby. The word on the street has been that their dynamic nature makes developers more productive that those of us shackled to statically typed languages like C# and Java. A couple of weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and start learning Python after spending the past few years doing the majority of my software development in C#. I learned that it was indeed true that you could get things the same stuff done in far less lines of Python than you could in C#. Since it is a general truism in the software industry that the number of bugs per thousand lines of code is constant irrespective of programming language, the more you can get done in fewer lines of code, the less defects you will have in your software. read more...
