can i do oracle programming on mac book pro

I don't see why not. What software are you using to create your SQL? Toad by Dell is one option there are also other Mac applications that will allow you to create and test and link to Oracle databases. Trying search macupdate.com for SQL. Click on this link to go to macupdate.

You can install Toad (costs money, but does have many features) and SQLDeveloper (free from oracle.com, not quite ans many advanced features as Toad but still capable). Both will connect to a remote database (you provide that connection, passwords and all) and knows SQL, PL/SQL.
