Newbie Advice, Looking for a few leads... Options

Hi folks,

I'm thinking of having a go at writing a simple editor/librarian program for Mac OS X (as there's nothing out there for the Waldorf Microwave...)

As a techie dude with limited programming experience (mostly Lingo and Actionscript), where should I look for tools to create such software? Basically I want to create a comprehensive editor for all Microwave functions, with a decent graphic front end.

Apologies if this is too basic a question for this forum, but I have to start somewhere!
