CLion, Netbeans, and Xcode are probably your best bets out of the 11 options considered. 'Great code completion' is the primary reason people pick CLion over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision. Learning to code on the Mac is the best step forward - see our guide to the Best Mac for app developers for more buying advice - but you can also use a Mac alongside microcomputer boards, such as.

1. Notepad Notepadis a popular free to use code editor written in C. It uses pure win32 API.
2. Apple Mac OS X Character Viewer. The easiest way is to just go to the top menu bar and from there choose Edit Special Characters (at the very bottom). That way you can access Character Viewer at least in a lot of programs, one of them being Safari.

write linux code on mac

How to write linux code on mac. Cross platform code is another term on write linux code code on mac, or any other system for that matter. There is a few things you need to download and install on your mac before starting writing linux code on mac.

First you need to download and install Mono Develop, or Xamarin Studio as it is called now. Xamarin Studio is a cross platform IDE for .net languages like C# and F#. If you want to program in C/C++ you should check out gcc instead. Xamarin Studio runs on Windows, Linux and OS X. And support most .net languages available today. Xamarin Studio is free and can be downloaded here: http://www.monodevelop.com

Second you need Mono, the cross platform .net framework. Mono project is sponsored by Microsoft, but is free to anyone. You will need this to compile and run your projects written in Xamarin Studio. The cool thing about Mono Project is that you can deploy your programs to most major operating systems. Like Linux, Windows and OS X. As long as they are supported by Mono Project.

To get the Mono Project framework, go to: http://www.mono-project.com

To run your code on a Linux system you need to install Mono Project to the Linux system. This will vary from which Linux Distribution you are using. Debian based, Red Hat based or Suse based. Several of the Linux Distributions have a Mono Project package included in their repository, but rarely the latest. So I recommend going to their site and get it.

That is really the tools you need to write .net programs for Linux on a mac. A framework developed by Microsoft to run for Windows. There are even some community packages of Mono Project out there, even linked on their website. These are usually not tested by Xamarin.

Happy cross coding!

About Mac Scripting

Scripting allows you to automate complex, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks by writing scripts that interact with apps, processes, and the operating system. A script consists of a series of statements, each of which performs a specific operation. These statements work together to automate tasks. Through scripting, you can create powerful workflow solutions that enhance productivity, reduce errors, save time, and save money.

There are many different scripting languages. On the Mac, the primary ones used for automation are AppleScript and JavaScript.

Note

OS X also includes Automator, an app for building workflows that run prebuilt, configurable actions to perform tasks in apps and throughout the operating system. Automator doesn’t require you to write any code, but can be extended through scripting. Because Automator uses preconceived actions and operates in a linear manner, it’s more limited in functionality than scripting. Automator is great for performing simple tasks involving a small number of sequential steps or apps. Scripting is a better choice for performing advanced, branching, or complex tasks.

Python and Perl are other examples of scripting languages.

AppleScript

AppleScript is a mature scripting language developed by Apple. It’s relatively easy to learn in relation to other scripting and programming languages, has been around since System 7.1, and has been widely adopted in both enterprise and personal workflows. While the AppleScript scripting language uses an English-like terminology which may appear simple, it is a rich, object-oriented language, capable of performing complicated programming tasks.

The core fundamentals of AppleScript are described in AppleScript Language Guide, as well as in numerous third-party books.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a popular cross-platform scripting language. Historically, it’s been most commonly used to implement features on websites and in web-based apps that are accessed through browsers. However, some apps implement JavaScript-based scripting models for the purpose of automation. In OS X 10.10, JavaScript became a peer to AppleScript in OS X. There are many third-party websites and books that document the JavaScript language.

For fundamentals on JavaScript as a scripting language for automation in OS X, see JavaScript for Automation Release Notes. For information about the JavaScript language, see Mozilla’s official JavaScript documentation.
