Possibly subscribing to the adc would help get more help, but i'm not sure.
I do really like the fact that the apple development tools are all free though, if you were developing for windows you would most likely need to buy some overpriced bloated microsoft visual studio junk that will bring you more pain than you can possibly imagine. |
Actually, MS has a full suite of
free development tools in languages from C++ to C# to the dreaded VB. They even have a free personal version of MS SQL Server and a bunch of database tools. They don't have
all the features of the pro suites, of course, but if you don't need a bunch of hand-holding or specialized enterprise tools, it'a
great deal for free. I was very pleasantly surprised by the previous version -- at a time when I barely had a single charitable thought about MS.
