New Year, New OS
Saturday, January 30th, 2010I’ve always had a thing for multiplatform development. Most of the Windows code I write can run on Linux with no or very few modifications, thanks in no small part to the wxWidgets GUI toolkit. I started using it because it brought internal consistency to the Windows API. I Think of it as what MFC would be if it were designed by a sane person.
I recently added a Macbook with Snow Leopard to the development mix and have been getting used to writing code for (and more importantly, porting code to) MacOS. Every operating system has its development annoyances, and OSX is no exception. I haven’t decided which applications are going to be ported to the new (to me) OS yet, but I’m sure a few will make it.
