The navigation nodes in the Quick Launch area.
Remarks
The navigation nodes returned by this property are represented as headings in the Quick Launch area of the user interface.

You can hide the Quick Launch area by setting the SPWeb.QuickLaunchEnabled property to false.
Examples
The following example is a console application that prints information about each heading in the Quick Launch area and about any items under each heading.
using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Navigation;
namespace ConsoleApp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("https://localhost"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb("/"))
{
foreach (SPNavigationNode heading in web.Navigation.QuickLaunch)
{
Console.WriteLine("\n{0} [{1}]", heading.Title, heading.Url);
foreach (SPNavigationNode child in heading.Children)
Console.WriteLine(" {0} [{1}]", child.Title, child.Url);
