You're in a FRENCH speaking group. So, go to comp.sys.mac, you'll get full answers.

As said by Schmurtz, Apple provides XCode for free, mainly to develop with C-like languages (C, C++, Objective C). I use Eclipse for Java development.
Can i install Visual C++ in MAC?
No.
Can i find supporter group or community for MAC.
- You can try <news:comp.sys.mac.programmer.help>, which (given its name) should be the english-speaking newsgroup for developing on Mac. - You should register for free on <http://connect.apple.com>, where you can get XCode updates and SDKs. Sample code can be found at <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode>. - If you plan to develop on precise topics, you should try <http://lists.apple.com> for developer mailing lists.

Hi
Which developing software in MAC? I know GCC only. Apple GIVES xCode (Gcc 3 is the default compiler).
Standard (with xcode) languages are : - C++ : Used for Carbon apps development. - OjectiveC : This is the "native" development language for Cocoa (OSX API's - Object). - Java : Is also a Native language (Can use Cocoa objects). - AppleScript.
You can mix all languages in your projects. The majority of standard unix sources (./configure, make...) will work.
Can i install Visual C++ in MAC? No (In fact You can with Virtuel PC 6 - It is usable).
OUT OF TOPIC : I'm using Visual Studio 6 at work and xCode at home and i notice this few points : - Cocoa is way better than win32 API's (It's more like .NET without a "virtual machine"). - Code completion is slower in xCode than VS6 (Didn't exist at all before xCode). It's usable on a G4 1Ghz. - Documentation isn't so good (although it's going better). never hesitate to use the online documentation at apple. - GUI editing : Nothing to compare because VS6 resources editor is a shit. Interface builder is way better. - xCode is FREE. - EASY database integration (NO ADO) is missing in Cocoa You'll have to use WebObject for this (NOT FREE) or native databases API (tested and working : PostgreSQL, MySQL, Openbase). - Nothing like ActiveX / ATL / OLE. Objects are reusable between projects via something called a "Framework". - No "Wizards" and automated code generation.
Can i find supporter group or community for MAC. In addition to the groups already posted a great mailing
list (Cocoa only) exists : cocoa-dev (Look at apple in the developper site - URL given by Guillaume).
