Yes, I would second that. I am coming to Cocoa from a Windows background
and face many of the same issues as vinai. I found getting to grips with
Interface Builder to be very educational, and it's not so hard to figure out
what is going on behind the scenes. Doing this has also influenced my
thinking on how best to port my app across.
Something I found very helpful is the way Xcode will set you up a minimal
app with all the standed connections and menu items in place. I would
recommend starting there vinai.
