Im going to be travelling all over Europe for a few months soon, but I wish to continue to study Cocoa and xcode - Internet connection for me during this is going to be a big bonus and something I am not relying on at all.

I would be grateful if anyone knew of a downloadable reference to cocoa, maybe in pdf, like what Apple have got at their developer site.

I am wondering whether to attempt to download as many as the individual pdf's from Apple - but there seems to be thousands - Is there a master download to get them all in one go?

Or perhaps a comprehensive reference somewhere else?. I dont want to, or cant take real books, because space and weight is a premium.

Isn't there a whole bunch of documentation with Xcode itself? I haven't looked through it much, so it may not be what you are looking for though.

You could get an electronic copy of Aaron Hillegass' Cocoa book - Im assuming you know Objective-C.

But there is information on all the basic things like classes protocols functions etc in /Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/Reference/

The problem I've got is that my mac and xcode cant come with me - the laptop is from the 'other side' - I have managed to get objective-c onto it, but obviously not cocoa or xcode, so I just need to references in pdf to peruse over.

As I am looking up references at Apple as I work through some tutorials, I am downloading the pdf too, but I wish there was a link to download the whole lot in one go?
