[QUOTE="prodikal, post: 152924"] Unless, he is going towards some graduate level degree, or takes graphics programming classes there will be almost no problems. Problems with porting games is developers use libraries that are non existent on mac, and when the engine is designed it uses architecture specific (i call them hacks) code that break it for other archs. I cannot imagine a project where his code would not be portable with minimal work. My best friend is a lead programmer for fedex he uses a 15" powerbook to code on and he has no problems. (and fedex's tracking systems use a lot of C#) He programs in C,C++, Java, Perl, C# and a few others. [/QUOTE]
