The bottom line is that all documentation and reference material require at least some skill at using reference material in general. It's up to you to recognize an unfamiliar topic referenced by the current documentation you're reading and look it up and cross- reference it. This is not specific to the Cocoa documentation; it's how learning works.

Yes, when I did my CS hons year, a large part of it was learning to read vendors documentation, mainly Burroughs, really getting into the spirit of those systems.


In short, mmalc and Ken are absolutely correct: you *must* learn the basics. You may have gotten pretty far building your app using Bindings, but you're getting hung up on one of the most basic and important bits of prerequisite knowledge and there is quite simply no way around your problem short of finding someone else to do it for you (who subsequently *has* read what you need to read).

None of this is meant to be rude, but simply the hard reality. You must read, read, read.

True, true, true
