References

Many of these references are installed on your computer when you install the developer tools; they’re also on Apple’s web site (http://developer.apple.com). The advantage of using the pages on your computer is that they should match whatever version of Cocoa you are using, whereas the version on the Apple web site will match Apple’s most recent version of Cocoa. However, we prefer the version on Apple’s web site, as those pages seem easier to use and frequently have more complete descriptions of Cocoa concepts.
