a) Yes. This is called a "Network". The easiest way to do this is with Airport, though a more cost-effective way if you don't have airport is to use ethernet cables and an ethernet hub.

b) If it says you don't have a superdrive, this means that the drive in your computer is not a DVD-writer (Apple calls these "Superdrive", but its the same thing). You *can* upgrade to a DVD-writer, but it can be expensive. You can also compile the project on a computer without a superdrive and then open it on another Mac that does have superdrive and burn it from there, so if one of your friends has a DVD writer as part of their kit ths might be an option.
