What are the best programming apps for Mac?

Technically, if you learn to program in JavaScript and HTML5, you can create web based apps that run in any browser, including one on a Mac.

I want to create an app for the Mac that can be installed through the App Store.

Yeah, and I understand why. Apple users generate around three quarters of the installed app profits anyone makes even though they are a minority of the users.

That’s one reason why I want to focus on apps for Mac instead of Android.

BBEdit is a favorite text editor for programming apps for Mac.

I want an all in one integrated development environment or IDE, whether I use Xcode or something else.

You can use CodeRunner as an alternative to Xcode.

I want to use a mainstream tool so I can work with other people if necessary.

So use Sublime Text to write code, run syntax detecting algorithms and edit it.

That’s a minimum.

If you want to have search and replace capability built into the app, Textmate lets you do that.

Now we’re back to something that rivals BBEdit.

Ultraedit has that functionality too, and can be used on Windows PCs.

I might as well use Notepad ++, which comes on most PCs. I want programming apps that do more than text editing though, like let me test code and verify grammar, not just hold what I type.

If you’re working on a web based app that you want to work on Apple devices, use Brackets.

Browsers are so uniform across devices since HTML 5 standards came out that I would just need to make sure I stick to HTML5 and JavaScript and a minimum of anything else and it works just fine.

If you want universal or open source, try Atom by Github. It is a free, open source text editor with fuzzy finders, multiple panes, a decent UI, code folding and lets you import textmate grammars.

I don’t even know what Textmate is.

It sounds like you’re new at this. Don’t forget to refer to developer dot apple dot com regardless of the tool you use to make sure the app meets all the standards for the App Store.

I put that in the category of basic.

If you’re doing basic web based app design like simple games, you could use the CoffeeCup tool.

That’s only for HTML and web editing, not formal apps.

Then work with ICEcoder, which not only lets you program in languages from JavaScript and Ruby, but code directly in a browser both online and offline.

It sounds like I need to decide what I want to create and how to create it, then find a programming app that fits my needs.
