Mac Programming Language

I have three questions:

1.) What programming language does the average mac program use?
2.) Can anyone post an example script for this language?
3.) Can anyone post a link to an XCode usable by OS 10.3.9? All that I can find are the OS 10.4 editions.

Thanks

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Hunter,

  1. You can choose between a couple of languages which are all used regularly. RealBasic is one (not supported by XCode) , AppleScript is an easy to learn and quite powerful scripting language from Apple, Java another one which is platform independent (more or less) and finally, the native Coca OS X language, Objective-C / Cocoa which is used for most applications written for Apple OS X.

  2. You find examples on Apples Developer pages, a good starting point is here: Sample Code
