Using Objective-C and the Cocoa API, how can I search the OSX System Dictionary definition of "dog" and retrieve the results so I can display them?
You can use the DictionaryServices framework to get definitions from the active system dictionaries as text (CFString), or to show a dictionary window with the definition.

Getting the list of running applications ordered by last use
(4 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
In Objective-C on macOS, the method [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] runningApplications] can be used to get a list of the running applications on the system.
However, per Apple's documentation, the order of applications in the returned array is undefined.
I'd like to get a list of the running applications in the order in which they would appear if the user were to press Cmd+Tab; that is, in the "Z-order" of how recently each application was the frontmost application.
How can this be done?
I think the best you can do is key-value observe NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace's frontmostApplication property over time and maintain the order of the list yourself. Of course, that only works for the apps which have been made frontmost since your app was launched. Other apps would continue to be unordered.

I'm a newbie in programming and now I'm learning yii framework and it's really hard.
What does this declaration mean :
something::something
for instance : CHtml::encode, yii::appname, CHtml::dropDownList, etc...
Yii::app()->request->baseUrl;
CHtml::encode($data->getAttributeLabel
What does it actually means?
And do you guys have a recommendation for learning yii framework other than Larry Ullman's?
I really need a tutorial.
Thanks.
That is the part of language(PHP), also called scope resolution (::). Not only with YII, its common to all PHP framework. Please go with some PHP language manual first, its tutorials. Then only you will be comfortable with any PHP framework like YII.

Unable to create live tile inside Windows 8 application
is it possible to use live tiles inside a page? I know how to configure tiles for start menu, but I don't know how to obtain a similar effect inside my app. Thank you
You can use the LiveTile control that comes with Callisto.
You could create the effect within an application, but the specific mechanism used for the Start screen is not directly available within the context of an application.
From another post in StackOverflow, you may be able to reuse/port code from the Windows Phone 7 toolkit. There's a number of applications in the Windows Store as well (search for "tile") that provide interfaces for designing tiles, and some may have incorporated similar functionality.
Also from this post, looks like Telerik may have a solution.

What does the #package directive do in Objective-C?
I have only seen #package twice since starting iOS programming (and I've been doing this a while now).
What is #package used for? I believe it specifies where you can access variables from but I'm not sure of the exact rules?
It’s for cases when you write a portable library, the visibility level is then set to your library, but not for the other source code that will make use of it.

How to do the documentation in objective C?
Is it possible to write class/method documentation in Objective-C in a way that Xcode 4 displays them in the quick help, and/or generates a doc document from it in the style of Apple's own documentation?
Displaying it live - not that I know of.
But as for generating Apple like documentation, the best I have found is appledoc which I've been using for a year now. If accepts a wide range of commenting styles including Javadoc styles and can generate very Apple like documentation which it can also install directly into your Xcode help system.
I don't know if it still works for Xcode 4 but for Xcode 3 you could generate API doc sets using doxygen.
Apple has a set by step guide: Using doxygen to Create Xcode Documentation Sets on how to do it.
There is also the appledoc tool available from GitHub. Makes nice docsets.
