So I've spent more time around Mac users recently and got to learn more about their system. I am definitely getting blown away more and more by everything Apple brings to the table. Especially when after not even turning on my PC Laptop in over a month it miraculously became infected with 19 viruses. That is making the decision that much easier.
One of my biggest concerns is a very in-depth and technical question, hoping there are a few members on the boards who are familiar with, or actually do the same things with their Macs. I am a computer science student and I want more than anything to avoid Boot Camp or running a Virtual Machine on my Mac if I don't have to, to program in C, C++, and C#. While I have read about compilers that you can install including gcc and mono, my biggest concern is having access to the .NET framework while working with C++ and C#. Other languages I know won't have the same issues as Java's JVM disregards computer architecture and Python is included with the Mac OSX.
Does anyone have any direct experience with programming .NET on Macs requiring use of the .NET Framework? Any Mono experience?
If I can stay away from PC as much as is humanly possible while being able to do everything on a Mac, I'd switch tomorrow. Thank you for your information and input.
