Hi,

there are a couple of interface-builder-tutorials out there. here is 
just one that uses python instead of obj-c: http://www.macresearch.org/node/4527
. if you really want to get into cocoa, i suggest reading a book. 
especially books by aaron hillegass could help you getting an 
understanding of cocoa. did you recognize that you have to drag lines 
by keeping ctrl pressed from one obj to the other to establish 
connections in ib?
