Looking to switch to MAC but I have some questions?

Hi guys I'm looking to switch to make soon and well I have a few questions that perhaps you all could help me with. First question:





I am a programmer (C++/C#) will there be any trouble programming in either of those languages on MAC?(im sure c++ will be fine but what about C#)??





Second Question:





I am currently in College and most of my classes require programs that are on windows(i.e. visual studio,vmware) is there programs or emulators that can run visual studio inside of MAC?

Looking to switch to MAC but I have some questions?
Well if you want run programs that are compatible with Windows then you should download/buy the Parallel Desktops.





Parallel Desktops Run Windows, Linux, and more side-by-side with Mac OS X on any Intel-powered Mac, without rebooting. With Parallels’ award-winning virtualization technology, you can run Mac OS X and Windows at the same time. You can even drag-and-drop files between desktops.





Here is the website:

Good Luck

Reply:MACs are fantastic for graphic design and video editing so it's probably the way to go.





I spent most of my life programming PCs and recently switched to MAC.





It was a little difficult at first but most of the time there are easier short cuts and video editing software is amazing
Reply:you can get vmware fusion on a mac which will solve all of your problems
Reply:I'm not a programmer myself, so I can't help much with the first question, though if you're looking to develop software for OS X in particular, you might want to read up on Objective-C and the Cocoa API, as those are most widely used. The dev tools (Xcode and all the related utilities) are included with every copy of OS X.





As for the second question, any Intel-based Mac (i.e. any Mac made within the last couple of years) can easily run Windows itself, either natively (dual-booting via the Boot Camp utility) or in virtualization with something like Parallels or VMware. If you've got a copy of Windows handy, that won't be a problem for you at all. :)

Reply:i cant see why you wouldnt be able to code in C's. but your visual studio will not work on Macintosh computers. for that you will have to either buy mac versions (if they exist) or dual boot. but in that case you may as well save some cash and buy a windows installed machine
