Today I got a brand new MacBook Pro that I will be using to teach Computer Science with. For the last several years I have been exclusively using Linux, as it is my preferred OS. However, I pushed for and got a new Mac lab approved for this coming year. Although Linux was my home choice, the labs at school were all running Windows, and not running it very well.
So after LMAOing for a while using Photo Booth's special effects, I got to work. This puppy is gonna hafta be a strong programming machine, and what I learn on here will transfer to the new lab.
Earlier today I was visiting two of my students that have a summer internship with a local high tech firm. One was writing some Python code on a Mac and commented about the default 8 space tabs. Well, my first priority in setting up my MBPro, then, would be to get Vim configured correctly.
After struggling a little with those pesky End Of Line errors you get whenever going between Macs, Linux and Windows, I got Vim to do all the syntax highlighting and code completion that I have it do on Linux. I posted my workaround to our programming forums, and called it a day.
Next step: install and configure Eclipse, Scratch, Alice, and so on....
