== The Foundation Framework ==

The Objective-C Foundation Framework is a essentially set of classes that are provided to speed and ease the process of developing applications using Objective-C. The framework was developed by NeXT Computer as part of the NeXTStep environment. When NeXT was acquired by Apple, Inc. the Foundation classes quickly became of basis of Mac OS X and then the iPhone development kit. For a full history of how this came to be, refer to the chapter entitled [[The History of Objective-C]].
