I've had a browse through a few forums and read up a bit on Mac's as I've always been from a Windows background but since finding out you need to use a Mac to program for the iPhone and so forth I've stepped up some interest in getting a Macbook Pro initially.
Just wanting a bit of advice for the most optimal machine to do this and anything I may need that I'm not aware of. Obviously a machine and the SDK but is there really much else?
I've programmed in C and C++ and I have used Java, PHP and most of the other web languages - is there a big difference with this 'xcode' to the rest?
Anything suggested is welcome
I suppose as cheap as possible, not really too fussed about a Mac Mini, preferably a Macbook but also tempted by the iMac range to some extent.
