The API reference pages for the various classes almost always provide
links to conceptual or usage guide documents.

For example the page for NSCoder ...

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSCoder_Class/Reference/Reference.html>

...list the following as a "Companion document" (look at the top of the page)...

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Archiving/index.html>

So two rules I follow...

1) Always remember to review the super classes reference page if the
class has a super class.
2) Always look for links to companion documents from the reference pages.

(links to both of the above are found at the top of the reference page
for the class)
