All Caché and Ensemble documentation is also accessible using the Search function right here on Developer Community. By using the Categories filter, you can quickly find a useful entry point into the documentation, and then browse around and search within it if need be. 

For example, if I search for "Cache SQL" and then set Categories to Product Documentation and scroll down a bit, I find Caché QuickStart Tutorial  ▶  Querying the Database and a little later many links into the Caché SQL Reference, for example Caché SQL Reference  ▶  SELECT. Needless to say, searching "Cache SQL Reference" narrows it down quite a lot.

Clicking the title of a search result gives you a Developer Community display of the material, but clicking the View the related documentation link for any entry takes you into the documentation itself. 

Note that the search filters can also be used to narrow searches for a lot of other useful things. For example, try searching Ensemble with Categories set to Video and Tags set to Ensemble for a long list of very interesting Ensemble-related videos. (You can choose tags within the Ensemble group to narrow it down.)

Finally, about the "beta documentation" Mike refers to:
