I want to start with OCAF but donot know what will be basic step for beginning becuase it has lot of classes..
So if any one knows good documentation or good tutorial for basic startup that will be great. :)

There are a few tutorials to get you started on the website that are pretty good at explainen how things work.
The documentation is not very useful any longer, the old PDF files was nice but they are using some terrible doxygen created crap today.
Anyway, you might find something useful here:

I've still got the old 5.1 documentation available on
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/dolbey/QtOpenCascade/doc5.1.zip (11MB)
You might find some interesting insights there.

Isn't that the same, that is in $OCC/doc? There seems to be very similar pdfs.

Sorry, my fault, should have been more specific, the PDF's the not very different, the biggest problem is that the old API reference was using WinHelp files, very nice and lots of usefull documentation, they switched to Doxygen documentation, Doxygen is ok, but this means it is all html based now and also it is lacking a lot of information and it is a mess to navigate around.

Yes
It has some old API and lot missing functions in help. Finally i have generated .chm file from html that generated from DoxyGen. Now i can see everything clear using .chm help in single document.

Another thing you might find a bit annoying is that some comments in the source code is in french, can be a little confusing when you try to figure out how something works.
