Leo,
Check out AppKiDo. It's small Cocoa app that scans all the Cocoa /
Foundation API docs in /Developer and provides a lightning-fast way of
exploring the Cocoa and Foundation APIs.
Key benefits IMHO:
* Search targets the Mac APIs so results are relevant.
* AppKiDo searches for names of classes, protocols, functions, types,
and constants.
* Search on substrings (not keywords) for instance searching "view"
gives all the pages that match such as -contentView for @class NSBox
and clicking that item give full docs and class hierarchy for NSBox.
* Clicking NSView -> General -> Inheritance shows what class hierarchy
it's in, protocols it conforms to and Programming Topics "Drawing and
Events" "Basic Event Handling", "Printing" etc.
* Set optional Frameworks (e.g. WebKit)
* Plays well with XCode -- Select text and hit CMD-E in XCode ("Use
selection for Find") and the search field for Apkido changes to said text.
* Free, open source.
Get it here:
<http://homepage.mac.com/aglee/downloads>
For non-Cocoa/Foundation APIs, you must turn to developer.apple.com ->
search
then Google for Low-level Darwin APIs / Posix APIs / C++ standard libs, etc.
I would love it if AppKiDo's API scope were extended, since I often
look up STL/Boost/Darwin/Posix APIs with a dozen different web sites or
man pages.
Google is great if you know what you are looking for, but dosn't handle
wild cards or regexs.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I am migrating from windows to Mac, which means that I am looking for
environments in Mac that I can relate to the Windows environment on
which I have worked for quite some time.
For e.g. Xcode is equivalent to MSVC++, but then is there any
equivalent help application just like MSDN in Mac? If yes, then where
can I find it?
