Although I have been using Apple Macintosh since 1994 (and NEXT) I have been mainly using Windows for developing and Mac for some home development and entertainment systems.
This is the tools I have started to use during my first months.
Terminal
The most important thing first - the terminal. For a terminal I use ITerm 2, a terminal replacement that has some great features.

$ brew install <brew>
