Applications

Activity Monitor is task manager for Mac. Finder is equivalent of Explorer (use arrows to navigate, rather than Enter... as this renames folders). System Preferences is equivalent of Control Panel. Only way I can find to disable Mail is by giving the executable no permissions: http://superuser.com/questions/337134/how-do-i-stop-apple-mail-from-opening-because-of-ical-appointments

Writing code

alt+left/right moves you one word at a time (like ctrl+left/right on PC)
cmd+left/right moves you to the beginning/end of the line (like home/end on PC)

Navigation

Use two fingers to scroll.
Use three fingers to zoom in and out.
cmd+tab is equivalant to alt+tab on PC.
cmd+space opens up spotlight (allows you to find anything).
ctrl+click is the same as right-clicking.
Cmd+q quits active application

Installing stuff

Just download the .dmg file, mount it, then drag it into Applications folder. After that you can unmount the dmg (by dragging to bin). Installing eclipse: download tar.gz, double click to unzip, drag eclipse folder into applications, then drag eclipse executable onto dock. Pkg "can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer". Solution is just to ctrl+click and select "Open". Installing p4d so it runs on startup: http://kb.perforce.com/HardwareOsNe..rkReference/OperatingSystems/Mac/UsingLaunchd

Macbook Pro has arrived

I feel like a complete computer novice all over again. But that's the aim: will be spending the next 6 months developing on a Mac - what better way to learn. :-)
