My friend me through Mac's "Terminal" you can create and program your own applications by just using the UNIX codes and just in Terminal. Is this true? If it is not, what kind of program or application would I need to make any kind of application?

Thanks in advance. Smilie

A little advice from someone who owned two OS X-capable Macs and used all the powerful extras he could on both:

OS X Developer Tools, free from Apple (you just have to sign up to their Developer Community, also free) enhances what Terminal can do in terms of compiling and testing programs created with its own resident utilities. Apple's X11 extends those bounds considerably more. If you bought your Mac new or refurb from an authorized Apple reseller, CDs with those packages on them should have come with it. If not, and your Mac happens to burn CDs/DVDs (most do nowadays), then you can download the necessary disk images direct from Apple. Just Google for Developer Tools for Leopard and Mac OS X X11 for Leopard, and look for links where the URLs happen to have either "www.apple.com" or "developer.apple.com" at the beginning.

Twelve years of Mac home use comes in handy sometimes.

SubmitDiagInfo(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					 SubmitDiagInfo(8)

NAME

     SubmitDiagInfo -- sends diagnostic information to Apple

SYNOPSIS

     SubmitDiagInfo

DESCRIPTION

     SubmitDiagInfo is a system process which runs periodically.  If the user has opted-in for automatic reporting of diagnostic and usage infor-
     mation, then SubmitDiagInfo collects and sends to Apple any recent diagnostic information which has not yet been sent to Apple.
     SubmitDiagInfo also cleans up any diagnostic and usage information which was created more than one month ago and is no longer needed.

     Sending diagnostic and usage reports to Apple helps us improve the quality and performance of our products and services.  It helps Apple
     identify common usage trends and issues that enable us to allocate our resources efficiently, and it helps us provide better support services
     to you and other customers.  All of the diagnostic and usage information is collected anonymously from your computer in a way that does not
     personally identify you.  Reports may include the following information:

     -	 Details about application or system crashes, freezes, or kernel panics.
     -	 Information about events on your computer (e.g. whether a certain function, such as waking your computer was successful or not).
     -	 Usage information (e.g. data about how Apple and third party software, hardware and services are being used).

     Automatic reporting of diagnostic information is off by default and no information is sent to Apple unless a user has opted-in to automatic
     collection of diagnostic information.  A user is offered the opportunity to opt-in for automatic collection of additional diagnostic and
     usage information after the user has manually sent a crash, hang or panic report to Apple.  Users may at any time opt in or out of automatic
     reporting in the Security & Privacy pane of the System Preferences application under the "Privacy" tab.

     All diagnostic and usage information which is eligible for automatic reporting is visible in the Console application under the "DIAGNOSTIC
     AND USAGE INFORMATION" heading in the application's sidebar.  (The information appears here even if a user has not yet opted-in for automatic
     reporting.)  For security purposes, some system diagnostic information will only be visible to admin users and will only be submitted when an
     admin user is logged in.

     Users who need technical support should use http://www.apple.com/support or other authorized support channels.  Developers who are ADC mem-
     bers should submit bug reports using http://bugreporter.apple.com in order to allow for two way communication between Apple and the bug
     reporter.
