2009-02-27T17:02:10Z 44588 0 Just a addition to my first review of this. Xcode is a great IDE for developing applications on OS X. My problems are when it comes to performance. Xcode 3.1 Beta had no problems, but when it came to the latest final release of Xcode 3.1, things are just terrible in terms of performance. Xcode crashes for me no less than 10 times a day, builds are sometimes randomly slow, the undo/redo functions are absolutely unusable (they have screwed up my code more times than I can count), and syntax highlighting doesn't work properly half the time. Great IDE, just wish I had kept my old copy of Xcode beta... 63737814 2007-05-09T09:31:54Z 9909 2009-12-04T17:40:57Z Xcode 2526 2009-11-29T22:10:37Z http://developer.apple.com http://wakoopa.com/software/xcode http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/399/normal.png?1238520980 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/399/thumb.png?1238520980 14397 Apple Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/apple-inc 51 Text Editors & IDEs http://wakoopa.com/categories/development/text-editors-ides mac Xcode is Apple's suite of tools for developing software on Mac OS X. Is bundled free with Mac OS X, though is not installed by default. The latest version is always available for free from Apple Developer Connection. The main application of the suite is the integrated development environment (IDE), also named Xcode. The Xcode suite also includes most of Apple's developer documentation, and Interface Builder, an application used to construct graphical interfaces. The Xcode suite includes the free software GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), and can compile C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Java, and AppleScript, source code with a variety of programming models, including but not limited to Cocoa, Carbon, and Java. Third parties have added support for GNU Pascal,[2] Free Pascal[3], Ada[4] and Perl[5]. The Xcode suite uses GDB as the back-end for its debugger. 2009-02-27T16:58:46Z 44587 0 Best webmail in existence, lots of storage, usually fast, free. 1168013389 2007-05-17T12:51:44Z 19191 2146-01-10T05:05:34Z Gmail 29225 2009-12-04T00:11:32Z http://mail.google.com http://wakoopa.com/software/gmail http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/021/246/normal.png?1240401769 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/021/246/thumb.png?1240401769 10267 Google Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/google-inc 20 Email http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/email mac win web Gmail, officially Google Mail in Germany and the United Kingdom, is a free POP3 and IMAP webmail service provided by Google.

It provides users with innovative abstractions to support declarative customizations which are at once transparent and flexible. Though its users are mostly programmers, and its basic feature set has a steeper learning curve than simpler graphical editors, TextMate is much easier to customize than many other text editors. Notable features include tabs, recordable macros, folding sections and snippets, shell integration, and an extensible bundle system, all built around its novel scope system. TextMate 1.5 won the Apple Design Award for best developer tool in 2006. 2009-02-27T16:57:05Z 44585 0 Nothing special, its something you can find in UNIX and Linux anywhere, but it makes me happy that Apple decided to include it in a mainstream home OS. 234977666 2007-05-09T09:31:56Z 9916 2010-11-15T13:51:48Z Terminal 6855 2009-11-24T09:41:57Z http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal http://wakoopa.com/software/terminal http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/404/normal.png?1238520990 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/404/thumb.png?1238520990 14397 Apple Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/apple-inc Tools that help you manage your system 12 System tools http://wakoopa.com/categories/utilities/system-tools mac linux The Terminal is the GUI frontend for Apple OS X and Linux Operating Systems, which allows the user to interact with a computer through a command line interface. 2009-02-27T16:55:32Z 44584 0 Best IRC client for Mac OS X, no question about it 55163072 2007-05-10T12:32:42Z 10974 2009-12-04T17:16:44Z Colloquy 1524 2009-11-24T19:26:28Z http://colloquy.info/ http://wakoopa.com/software/colloquy http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/555/normal.png?1238521390 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/555/thumb.png?1238521390 26551 Timothy Hatcher http://wakoopa.com/developers/timothy-hatcher Communicate with others via chat or instant messengers 5 Messengers & Chat http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/messengers-chat mac Colloquy is an open-source IRC, SILC and ICB client for Mac OS X.

You either choose to allow the connection, to deny it or to add a permanent rule for similar future connections. 2008-07-02T01:59:58Z 11069 4 I don't know about others here but this tool works fine for me with GMail.
