title: c++ development on Mac
body: <p>I have till now mainly concentrated on web programming thus far and now want to enter application programming space. I use a mac, and wanted to know what sort of compilers, IDEs etc people generally use for c++ dev. </p>
  
  <p><strong>extremely n00b</strong>
  One more thing immensely bothering me was the fact that c++ compilers generally output <code>.exe</code> which can't be used on macs. I need to understand basic OOP programming fundamentals and thought c++ would be the best choice. Please suggest something.</p>
