You will not find the newest Apple Applications getting developed for the Macintosh. Most of the standard applications for the Apple have been available for a long time and have changed very little. The only development in the productivity suites was the Novell was allowed to sue Microsoft over Microsoft’s anti-competitive practices. The case may have come too little and too late since WordPerfect has less than 5 percent of the office productivity suite market share.

Apple knows it cannot compete with Windows. The newest Apple applications are getting developed on the iPhone and the iPad. While the productivity functions on the other platforms are limited, the iPhone and iPad can do things like double as a GPS device, provide quick access to banking information, website, and find the quickest movie theater.

Web and mobile application development has become the focus of many programmers. The market for traditional application development remains, but unless a person has works for a gaming company, he will probably maintain the code and fix bugs. As any programmer knows, changes to the old code of a program can easily introduce new and unintended bugs. Fixing these bugs may often become someone else’s job, which is the real reason why commenting is encouraged by teachers.
