How do I do C/C++ Programming in OS X?

I am in an intro to computer programming class. We are doing mostly C and some C++ programming. At school, we use Microsoft Visual Studio on Windows XP. At home, I have Mac OS 10.4. Is there anyway I could write/run programs back and forth between operating systems? If not, can I at least practice writing these programs on my Mac? What are the best programs, preferably free, to use?

I know this is an introductory class and you are using visual studio, but how comfortable are you with c/c++. All you really need to write c is a text editor and a compiler. Any text editor can be used.


also I included a link to some Mac os development software

Reply:I am not a Mac expert. But Mac support Linux and "Eclipse" is a open source IDE for Linux. It lets you develop code in C/C++/Java and lot of other languages. It's free and you can find lots of documentation.
