It helps (almost always) to read the name of a method aloud!

numberOfRowsInTableView == number Of Rows In Table View

For something called "number Of Rows In Table View" I see no reason to read any documentation, browse the web, or conduct experiments. Everyone is generating from time unneeded traffic here, but I have to join Marco (who is otherwise very helpful) that your last posting was an extreme case.

Many years ago I was greenhorn too, there was almost no documentation (I am speaking about NeXTstep 1.0) and the community had microscopic size. Nevertheless, thanks to NeXT, I hardly needed documentation. But with the invention of the internet, and the low-cost connections, many people believe they are obliged to type and ask anything... Strangely enough, there are less noise-questions on java mailing lists where people have to struggle with idiotic APIs, and JavaDoc format...
