I’ve given the Development Documentation for XCode a few weeks, but yesterday, after spending half a day searching how to retrieve the Codec information from a quicktime file, I finally concluded that the best source of documentation is source code on the web.  With the lack of examples the documentation is only of minimal help when you are new and trying to discover HOW to do things, not just reference information.

Two sites helpful in searching code are Krugle and Koder.  Krugle has a nicer UI. I haven’t used Koder much.
