Are there any free Mac OSX IDEs for SQLite that you would recommend? I've seen some answers on SO from 2009 and 2010, but nothing recent. If the SQLite manager for Firefox is still the one to go with, great, I'll try it. I was just wondering if something else has come along since then that people like more. There's nothing specific I'm looking for in terms of capabilities, just a tool that's as reliable, user friendly, and as full featured as possible.
Typically I use Firefox plus the SQLite Manager Extension.
Not free, but I use Navicat Premium as a front end for MySQL, Postgres, SQlite, MS SQL, Oracle.
I have a real love/hate relationship wiht Navicat - it's full featured and generally works well, but the doesn't adhere well to Mac UI standards.
Hope that helps, at least a little.

I am making the conversion from PC to MAC and wanted to know what options do I have to still develop websites. I usually create websites with c# but besides C# what other options do I have on the macintosh?
MAC is even better environment for development (web) than Windows. It is because it is nix. I used PC for years and I feel more comfortable on MAC. For example you can manually set working environment for PHP (appache, mysql) with ease, and you have more control with everything you do. Mac, by default, comes with installed Python, so you can easily create your web working environment. There is also Ruby etc.
Git + Editor(Textmate, Sublime) + Web = Perfect combination.
I would say that Ruby (Ruby on Rail) is pretty common. You still have PHP, Python too.
If you want some example try CodeCademy or CodeSchool

I would like to know if its posible to create a desktop application with ruby and the disadvantages,
please can you give me a example? a application to use in windows
thanks
Yes you can, Sir!
The disadvantages are like there might be some difficulties doing advanced stuff for interfaces but I'm just guessing as I have no experience at all in this field.
Take a look at some solutions you have:
http://shoesrb.com
https://github.com/larskanis/fxruby
https://github.com/maccman/bowline (this one I just found it now and seems interesting, BUT it's not maintained anymore :/)
http://macruby.org (for OS X only)
http://www.rubymotion.com (paid and OS X only)
Other I can think of is using Java Swing with JRuby
Also you might want to take a look at this -> http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ruby_Programming/GUI_Toolkit_Modules

Title pretty much explains the question, but nevertheless I'll expand on it.
I want to "brush up" my native skills a tad, and therefore am wondering what are the current state-of-the-art approaches? Plain C or C++? C with some libraries I don't even know of or C++ with MFC/WTL/OWL?
10 years ago, right before .net 1.0 was released, the "tech visionaries" promptly predicted the eventual demise of COM/C++, but today COM/C++ is well alive. look no furhter than this page on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/desktop/
The first item under Top Windows Solutions is Win32/COM development (not MFC, which few people care about).
I believe you'll do well by (re- ?)acquaint yourself with Win32/COM/C++ (well, I mean win64, as everyone can see 64-bit apps are going mainstream these days).
On a side note, may I ask why you want to brush up your native dev skills? i'm asking because i had the same urge last year and spent nearly 8 months on some Win32 API projects (didnt get much done in COM though, but I think with Windows 8 coming up soon, COM will take on a second life).

Let me preface with saying that I'm used to using Sequel Pro on a mac for doing my database administration (table creation and inline data editing).
I have now been asked to do some oracle work as well and I'm looking for an Oracle client that has much the same feature set as Sequel Pro.
I must be able to ssh first and log into the database second. Edit data in a table view and be able to run queries easily.
The only product I've found on my own has been navicat. However its workflow has been driving me up a wall. :)
Any recommendations? keeping under 500 bucks would be nice... I know about Toad but it's wickedly expensive and I'd like to hold off on asking for that if there is an adequate substitute. :)
Thank you,

SQL Developer... It won't do the SSH stuff natively, though. But for all the other tasks it's pretty awesome for free.

Do you know any source for nice looking software designs? (non Web).
There is always Apple Design Awards or something like the Mobile User Experience Awards for mobile applications.
There are some good examples on http://emberapp.com. Mostly for Mac though ...
I would take a look at http://quince.infragistics.com/, while not complete applications, it does show you some best practices/design patterns for both Windows and Web applications.
I'd also take a look at some of the Windows Forms component companies, DevExpress, Telerik and Infragistics. You can learn a lot from the look and feel of their components.
In this case... a lot of programmers tend to talk only about the worst examples...cause UI really depends on personel taste.
Have a look at this question for the worst examples:
Stackoverflow Question
From my point of view i prefer clear looks...nothing fancy etc...but it really depends on the software and topic...hope this helps
