Moved to a Mac

Posted by: Pramod Sadalage on 09/01/2008

Couple of weeks back I was given a choice to upgrade my work Laptop to a Mac Book Pro or a Windows Laptop. I choose Mac ( I know everyone is into macs nowadays). The transition was pretty good, with the exception of moving my oracle database from windows to mac, since there is no native installation of oracle on mac I had to use VMWare fusion to install oracle.

After having oracle run inside the VM, I started setting up the dev environment, I ran into issues with ANT version and JAVA version but they where resolved by pointing to the right location.

Overall this has been a positive experience so far.
