Are there any good resources for beginning writing applications for OS X?
I'm familiar with c++, Java, php so don't necessarily need introduction to programming concepts but don't really know where to start with creating applications for a mac.
I have used Borland for creating .exe files on a PC. Is there a similar system for macs?
If you want to continue in a language you already know, you can use Qt, which uses C++ and supports many platforms, including OSX.
However, the most common programming language for OSX is Objective-C, which you'll be able to find many tutorials on-line.
The most common IDE to use is XCode, which is free in the App Store.

I was recently thinking of learning a programming language that can interact with Windows Program?Is there any such thing that can do things like open Chrome,navigate to a webpage,Click some buttons,input something?
P.S -> Please don't suggest Imacros :)
I saw one program like that and wonder what programming language it is written in and can interact with programs?
Thanks.
It sounds like you're looking for an AppleScript equivalent for Windows.
Check out AutoIt
The functionality you want is also available via COM.
Most programs that interact with the GUI of other running applications use the Automation/Accessibility APIs built into windows. Take a look at linked overview page for details.
To answer the language part, anything that can call into those APIs will work (C++ and C# being fairly common for this purpose).

Due to the various issues with getting hsSDL to work on Windows, I'm looking for another library that can handle keyboard input and drawing images to the screen. Does anyone know of any?
I've successfully used gloss on Windows in the past without issues. It's also very simple (which I like) and is my go-to recommendation for people who want to use Haskell for simple graphics/ basic games.
Edit: It looks like gloss is having issues building on the Hackage server and as a result isn't displaying documentation. Here is the documentation for version 1.8.1.2, which should be about the same.

The title pretty much sums what I am looking for - will consider commercial solutions as well. Far from versed in the whole OS X "ecosystem" - therefore, any "tips" on this subject, appreciated.
Cross-platform compatibility not a requirement.
Thank you.
The old way was to use Apple's PackageMaker app. It's been deprecated in Xcode 5 however. You can still find it on Apple's Developer site -- I believe it's included in the Auxiliary Tools package (more info). Personally, I still use it for production releases. Yes, it's scriptable.
The new way is to use pkgbuild, productbuild, and the other tools included in Xcode 5. More info here:

I am thinking in build an application that stays at the menubar in OSX and the clock in Windows.
I would like to know if any of the cross-platforms frameworks (like wxwidgets, qt etc) are able to help me accomplish this.
Or is this so OS specific that I would have to build one app for each?
thanks,
Joe
Qt can happily do this for you. See the QSystemTrayIcon class, as well as it's setContextMenu() function.

I am an OS X user. Often, I need to share architectural, workflow and other data with managers and developers in a visual fashion.
Can anyone recommend me some software and tell me why it's awesome?
I love OmniGraffle for diagrams
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/
Easy to use, the result really look great, and support various programmer stuff like UML.
A lot better than visio
I am a big fan of ConceptDraw Pro
