Microsoft is the company I just love to hate.
My boyfriend, Microsoft developer, formerly of Dell (they announced a plant closing in Austin today and layoffs, btw), spends most of his work time fighting quirks in the MS development environments. For every 1 hour of productive work, he wastes another 8-10 hours of fighting quirky bugs, recovering lost work, and cursing.
He's now seen the light...poor guy wants a Mac so bad it hurts. :-)
If he wanted to start programming for the Mac, can anyone recommend where he might start? He has a strong programming background, but needs a push in the right direction.
