Interface Builder does not do anything that you can not do with code. Interface Builder allocates and initializes objects, sends messages to those objects in response to your interactions through IB's GUI, and then archives the objects and connection info into a nib file. When your application runs, all it does in unarchive the objects and connection info from the nib file and use them.
See http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Technical/FreezeDriedObjects.html for a nice brief explanation.
P.S. On the whole, Apple's Cocoa documentation is excellent, and frankly, when you are using aspects of the framework that have existed for 13+ years, you can be assured that lots of people have figured it out from the documentation before you.
