An application
environment consists of the libraries, library resources,
application programming interfaces (APIs), and services that you
need to run applications developed with those APIs. The application
environments depend on the underlying layers of the system
software: the core services (Quartz, OpenGL, QuickTime, and so on)
and the core operating system (the kernel environment called
Darwin).
In this lesson, you'll learn about the many
application environments available to Mac OS X users. Those
environments support programs created for present and past versions
of Mac OS, as well as applications created for Java and UNIX
environments.
