I have till now mainly concentrated on web programming thus far and now want to enter application programming space. I use a mac, and wanted to know what sort of compilers, IDEs etc people generally use for c++ dev.

extremely n00b One more thing immensely bothering me was the fact that c++ compilers generally output .exe which can't be used on macs. I need to understand basic OOP programming fundamentals and thought c++ would be the best choice. Please suggest something.

If your question really is: can I use C++ to develop Mac applications, then the answer is yes, but for true native Mac applications you probably want to invest in learning Objective-C and the Cocoa frameworks.
