For me it's got to be the Microsoft SQL Server Cast and Convert reference. I must love that page, I seem to visit it several times a day.
PHP Documentation for me - clear, concise, user tips (although these are not always correct and secure - pinch of salt etc). Also good for typing directly into an address bar if you know the function name, eg php.net/in_array - straight to the function's page.
The YUI documentation has had a good number of views over my last few projects...a good example of a clear and concise API
Definitely should be http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt :)
It depends a lot on what I'm doing and what my toolset is. In generaly these days it is probably Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language.
From time to time, I still find that people need my services maintaining/fixing/adding new features to ASP site (VBScript) pages from time to time (yuck). The MSDN VBScript reference is usually all I need.

I found a great article here:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18204/ASP-NET-controls-to-display-enum-values
where I studied it, learned a lot, and incorporated it as a new class library in my Visual Studio Solution.
Having borrowed the code and utilized in a web application, what is the best way to link up the original article on CodeProject to my Visual Studio solution (multiple projects) both so I can "bookmark" this article for later reference by me and my team member(s) and give credit to the original developer who came up with the idea. One idea I had would be an AboutBox in the EnumControls class library but the more I think about that it seems a bit stupid (I really only want some doc available at design time for my co-workers and for my future leaky brain).
How about a works cited page (text file in your solution) and then comments in code files where the code is actually used. This gives you and the other developers some immediate context of where it came from, but the solution level text file provides an artifact in your software process.
The VB.NET XML comment (''') would allow for IntelliSense documentation as well, which may be overkill, but it would be available to developers at code implementation time.

CRC cards are known as one of the simple, intuitive method
to simulate your system before creating it.
Many people praises its goodness with a few of criticism
but I could not find well, solid examples about its actual usage
or good case studies.
YouTube only provides two direct examples how CRC methods
are used - both of them are played in not american, even the
creators of the method are two great american ^^.
How funny?
So here I want to know how many people actually uses CRC in design session?
Is it still valid or great? Is it worth to investigate, practice and put in many hours?
My guess is that this is largely replaced by UML. Never heard of anyone using CRC, but then again I'm more in the web than corporate development..

When I used to use VB 6 in my high school MSDN was just fantastic, I never looked anywhere else for help. Then came .NET and online MSDN and whatnot, and there were no longer any practical examples of anything. I slowly started to avoid MSDN and now when I search something on Google I straight away add -msdn in there.
If you take a simple example of ArrayList count there is nothing mentioning that count has to be used like this:
ArrayList tmpArray = new ArrayList();
tmpArray.Add("something");
LabelCount.text = tmpArray.Count;
The way MSDN has it is actually really helpful if you have a basic idea of what member variables are etc. But if you are new to C# in general, you would be completely lost.
PHP documentation is so neat! A simple strlen has a neat depiction of what are the return values, parameters for function etc, plus the comment section has lots of users giving out so many valuable usage example of strlen which I find really amazingly relevant and helpful.
Is there a way to look at things and understand in MSDN? How do you guys refer MSDN?
Microsoft's documentation does not have the beauty and simplicity that linux man or info has, but still, it's very comprehensive. You need to know that it's not tutorials in most cases, it's reference documentation, that assumes you already know how to use that function.

I'm wondering if there is any Wiki solutions that perfectly fit an API documentation and let you nicely list the end points and parameters/responses.
Any recommandations?
Thanks
take a look at MindTouch.
API Documentation is one of the ways the developer site http://developer.mindtouch.com makes use of the product
Not a direct answer to this question but definitely a good starting point to help you get answered:
I had the same questions and initially thought PBWorks since that's who Twitter originally used for their API Wiki and in the past I've used Google Sites (on the Kwwika Wiki) since it's effectively a wiki.
I'm sure that if you want a more automated solution that will allow you to auto create your wiki from a build process then there will be solutions such as Read the Docs.
All this said I think a really good starting point is WikiMatrix and their Wiki Choice Wizard.

I'm learning and doing projects on Grails, but for now it's a little boring because of the repetitive work (GORM, fix bug,...) . I want to "play" a little: making something simple, but useful, so that I can get inspired again with the programing work. For example, I think of something like Workrave, or RainCalendar, or Google StreetView.
The problem is that I'm just a lone programmer, and don't have lots of time for developing my own software. So I posted this question to ask for:
Some idea about a simple-coding program, but useful, interesting (funny is a bonus).
Some where (online) for programmer like me can find interesting project to join? I can code C, C++, Java, Grails and PHP. But other languages is also welcome.
I'll appreciate any idea from everyone.
To Answer your Second question:
sourceforge
And that has a lot of projects running so take a look at their Project Help Wanted board
then join the one you like.
And that should in turn answer your first question
