If so what should I use? And is it easy? Any pointers are good.

3 thoughts on “Is it possible to write programs on Mac without using Xcode?”
As XCode is one of the greatest combinatory application coding suites available, I know of no other coding application that even exists for the Mac. What’s wrong with XCode? It does everything.
Xcode is great, I use it for almost everything, whats wrong with it? Eclipse http://www. eclipse. org/downloads/ and Qt http://qt. nokia. com/ are some other IDE’s I use (both are free). But, if your not really a programmer, I suggest scripting instead of a real language because the IDE’s are much less complex then the ones I stated above. There is AppleScript already installed on every mac in Applications –> AppleScript. There is also Automator in Applications –> Automator.

You can try SuperCard, LiveCode (from Runtime Revolution abbreviated RunRev) for real easy rapid software development using an English-like scripting language or pick RealBASIC which is a little lower-level programming language – which is very similar to Visual Basic.
