Getting Started

A guided introduction and learning path to developing for web and Internet.

Mac OS X is an outstanding web development platform, with its stable open-source core based on FreeBSD 5.0 and a wealth of standard open-source web technologies. Mac OS X gives you the ability to develop dynamic browser-based applications that you can deploy locally, on Mac OS X Server, or on your heterogeneous enterprise servers. On the client side, the Safari web browser supports not only Mac OS X, but also Windows and iPhone, so you have a greater audience for web applications than was available just a year ago. The WebKit, which forms the basis of the Safari web browser, provides a powerful HTML engine for use in your applications. Dashboard widgets provide a simple yet powerful way to quickly get information into the hands of your users. And if you prefer AJAX, WebObjects, PHP, Perl, Python, JSP, or pure Java implementations, you can collaboratively develop your site leveraging corporate resources such as databases, LDAP repositories, and source code management repositories. You'll enjoy the reliability of UNIX, plus the rich user interface and ease of use that are the hallmarks of Macintosh. Read more...
