A few weeks ago I posted about my intension to get a Mac and well I am happy to report I finally did. I have been using my new white MacBook for over a week now and, although I used to play with Linux-based systems when I was in college, it is been kind of funny the transition towards the Tiger.
At the office I'm still using Vista and at home I have Windows XP SP2 running on my desktop: which pretty much makes for my primary development box and will remain as such for the foreseen future. Although, during this past evenings I've been trying to find my way on my newborn MacBook, and have to confess it has been great!
So far I've been able to do pretty much everything I'm used to do on my Wintel box regarding office and creative stuff, though I haven't been able to find a replacement for Project (I think OmniPlan might work out but I haven't got a chance to try it out)... any suggestions?
On the client development side I've got installed the trial version for Flex Builder 2.0.1 and just finished up setting Apache 2.2.
For server side programming I will get ColdFusion Scorpio installed tomorrow and will set up both Dreamweaver CS3 and the CFEclipse plug-in for Eclipse and give them a try together... I need to get to know this 2 guys for a project I am involved in right now, so I thought of trying them out both and choose the best for onward development... I will keep u posted on how this goes!
Looking forward, given this new addition to my family of gadgets, I will add some new coverage to Mac stuff on my blog, so remember to keep track of the new Mac section as u might find interesting stuff as I explore more of this new friend of mine!
Cheers u mates!
P.S. Following this post I'm putting a couple of references to the installation of Apache and PHP 5 on a Mac as I think they deserve its own space alone...
