This part of the book provides a quick reference to Cocoa’s primary frameworks: Foundation and Application Kit. This part starts out with a quick overview of how to use the Cocoa quick reference to better help you understand its organization and structure. The chapters in this part aren’t meant to be read from start to finish, but instead are intended to be used as a reference to keep by your side while programming.

Chapters in this part of the book include:

Chapter 9, Foundation Types and Constants

Chapter 10, Foundation Functions

Chapter 11, Application Kit Types and Constants

Chapter 12, Application Kit Functions

Chapter 13, Foundation Classes

Chapter 14, Foundation Protocols

Chapter 15, Application Kit Classes

Chapter 16, Application Kit Protocols

Additionally, Part II begins with an explanation of How to Use This Quick Reference, and wraps up with an index (Method Index) that contains an alphabetical listing of every method in the Foundation and Application Kit frameworks, called the Method Index.
