I've seen my friend enjoy using Dash, in which you could look up all kinds of language document, Java, c#, Android, Javascript, JQuery, etc. That makes life much much more easier!! Does Anyone knows if there's alternative on Ubuntu? I search desperately but no

You might want to check out Zeal. I just started implementing it this weekend. It's intended to be a documentation browser like Dash, working on Linux.
Here is a screenshot:

1Didn't know Zeal. Looks promising, very dash-like, although it lacks the snippets functionallity.– ccamaraNov 4, 2013 at 22:00
Perhaps devdocs.io would be an option. It is also available as app extension for google chrome.

devhelp may help you
Devhelp is an API documentation browser for GTK+ and GNOME. It works natively with gtk-doc (the API reference framework developed for GTK+ and used throughout GNOME for API documentation). If you use gtk-doc with your project, you can use Devhelp to browse the documentation.

For JQuery there is JQAPI. You can even install it as package!
$ sudo apt-get install jquery-alternative-doc
Then browse to this file in your browser.
file:///usr/share/doc/jquery-alternative-doc/index.html

This doesn't really answer the OP. Dash is a native desktop client that provides useful search features, and it downloads docsets or uses local docsets. Sep 3, 2013 at 14:44
