Apple Sees a Shift in Developer Profiles |
  |
|
Apple Computer said it is seeing a definite shift in the types of the people building for its operating system.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based computer maker, which is preparing for its annual developers conference in late June, claims a spike in the number of enterprise code writers. The company said it has seen a large number of UNIX, Java and Open Source developers migrating to its Mac OS X operating system.

| Migrating to can be taken a couple of ways. I think more and more people are writing operating system independent applications. |

speaking of which. ever had at look at php-gtk? http://gtk.php.net/
I think this could really take off. It's completely open source (unlike java) and very fast (unlike java). Just not enough libraries for php to make it a serious competitor to that other bloated OS-independent language. |

Apple has in fact by far the largest installed base of UNIX desktop systems. The core UNIX is BSD with a few Apple tweaks. OS X and the current Apple hardware performs very well together. It seems like the serious UNIX dudes are all into Apple gear these days. As standards go, Apple has all on its own established a kind of standard for a modern UNIX hardware platform. Apple has of course wisely not redone Java like Microsoft did. Java on a mac is all Sun Java.. the way it should be.

I know of GTK and it is really very good. I used to work down the hall from some GTK developers who later went into business offering GTK support. This is a very fine language. Putting it on top of PHP is really logical. One could write beautiful OS independent applications with this. I think GTK/PHP offers an excellent platform which would allow the programmer load the client and server sides of the application just as needed.
But this is independent of Apple, of course. |
