Question

Mac Systems development jobs?

by Oct 23, 2013 5:48AM PDT

Hi,

I'm not sure where I should post this, but since this forum implied it had something to do with jobs/business, I'm posting it here.

I've recently begun studying Information Systems and will have a B.Sc. in 2015. Since I'm a Mac user myself, I would prefer focusing on becoming skilled in developing systems and software for Apple products, but what worries me a bit is the fact that there seems to be so many more jobs out there for Windows/Microsoft based systems.

Would it be stupid of me to stick to Mac and learn things like Objective-C? Will there be jobs for Mac/iPhone/iPad developers in the future?

Did you notice Nolan Bushnell and his mention of Unity game development?

That is, the OS is not where the issues or decision point is anymore. It's a hard lesson to learn.
