AppKit
The AppKit is a set of classes, first developed by NeXT Computer, and now by AppleComputer, for rapidly developing applications. The majority of AppKit classes deal with user interface elements, such as windows, buttons, and menus. InterfaceBuilder lets you work with many of these classes visually.
The AppKit builds upon FoundationKit, and thus requires it to function.
Note that the AppKit classes are generally _not_ thread safe.
Note: Please don't go to the trouble of copying Apple's complete docs for each and every class - that's more than we need. :)
You might want to link to the corresponding page on the AppleComputer developer site and add some sample code and gotchas that can't be found there. (Plus: Fill in that "Description forthcoming. :) ) ListOfClassesWithDescriptionForthcoming
Note: Cocoa is available to both Objective-C and Java. Documentation for classes is available for each language except where noted by a (Java) or (ObjC).
