[regarding key/value coding]
My question is: how does anybody find out/remember these methods
exist?
I found out about them by reading *all* of the documentation once
through. As for remembering it, the Cocoa frameworks are pretty
self-consistent, so my first guess as to the name of a particular method
is usually right.
I keep looking in Project Builder for some sort of "Class Browser"
which
will show me all of the methods (inherited or extended via protocols or
categories) that are available to a given class
We had it, and lost it. In NeXTSTEP, there was a program called
"HeaderViewer" which did this, and that functionality was present in the
previous incarnation of ProjectBuilder (now known as ProjectBuilderWO.)
We've been told that Project Builder will regain this ability Real Soon
Now.
Do you "old-timers" actually have all these things memorized??
No. All I have memorized is where to look.
