Software development for the professional Mac developer has always had great support
from Apple. For new developers and those who are doing it for fun, the situation has
been less easy. For many years such developers had some difficult decisions to make if
they wanted to build their own Mac software.

Mac OS X offers some great high-level tools for improving productivity and automation,
such as Automator, Dashcode, and, of course, the venerable AppleScript. These are
very useful in adding features to existing applications and in automating repetitive tasks,
but you wouldn’t use them to create real applications.
