Programming Hardware should work the same for Mac or PC.... it is the software that will give you issues. Most programming software should work well on a windows emulator or whatever the kids use on their macs in order to get windows programs to work. Programming is a serial transmission of code so there is nothing revolutionary that happens from a PC the cant be achieved with a Mac.
