Switching to Mac #2

Posted on June 23rd, 2007 by Alex Gorbatchev. In Switching to Mac. 1 comment so far...

I have installed Ruby and Rails and the whole stack. Sadly, I haven’t had a chance to do any Rails development after yet because I have to do some Flash development to pay for the Mac. Yes, I’m actually a full time Flash developer by day.

To continue with my series of “switching to mac” posts, here’s a list of applications that I have installed so far (in order that I have them bookmarked):

Freeware:

Shareware:

  • Path Finder – because Finder blows.
  • VMWare Fusion – seems much faster than Parallels.
  • TextMate – I guess I should check out what’s all the fuss about.

I think this sums up a basic starter kit. Please let me know if I missed something.

  1. What?!

    Linotype FontExplorer X freeware? I wish! :)

    P.S.: never understood why people get so fussed about Mac vs. PC, as long as it does what it needs to be done that’s what it matters. It only comes down to personal choice. Any one is good. (not directly relating to the blog author, just commenting on something that I find ridiculous, the Mac vs. PC wars)
