Dear member,
I am starting a new project that is to be installed in apple computer. I am used to windows environment. I am looking for programming language for the project. I write C++ and was wondering if this language can be written, run and installed in apple computer. Pls feel free to recommend other languages.
Your insight will be highly appreciated.

When you say "Apple" ... what do you mean exactly... do you mean a Mac? Or are you talking about an honest to goodness older Apple?

It really doesn't matter. You just need a compiler/run time/virtual machine that runs on the Mac for the language. But if you want what has the best support for a Mac specifically, then you should be using Objective-C so you can esaily take advantage of Cocoa frameworks and the Interface Builder that comes with XCode.

Also http://developer.apple.com has plenty of documentation and examples as well as the free download of the XCode IDE. Sign up required, but free.
Another good reason to go with Objective-C and Cocoa is that the iPhone/iPod Touch SDK is pretty much exactly the same as coding for OS X so you will be able to easily transition to writing apps for those as well once you get a handle on the language/framework.
One more resource for you.

They have some useful screencast videos on many Cocoa programming topics that you might find helpful. It helped me get through some rough spots in learning
