    Get a copy of VB for Macs. It's right next to VB for Linux.

    (Just kidding)

    No there isn't. You'll need another language. Someone asked this same question earlier this week and another person responded that RealBasic may work on Macs.

    Maybe off topic but...

    What language do mac programmers use most?

    My first programming experience was actually on a Mac about 16 years ago - before windows existed.
    Guess what language....

    MS-Basic.... yes that's right! Micro$oft Basic
    Does Microsoft still write programming software for Macs?

    I was under the impression Macs came with a built in Windows thing that runs PC Programs. Or is that Linux?


    It would have to be C++ wouldn't it?
    and Java for the losers......

    There are some programs for pc that you can also get on Macs. I didn't say that they wrote software for macs to compete with Apple.

    Nooo.. put Microsoft is the PC Platform.... why would they develop on the enemy system for something like programming?? Ít would give the opportunity to improve the oppostion's system and stop the migration of users to the PC Platform... in most cases...
    I can understand programs like Office for Macs... but not development apps.
