Ive been using them so long, that its like a fish trying to explain how to swim. Id like to be able to point people to a good introduction, either online or in a book, but unfortunately I dont know of any. Can anyone recommend something? (It doesnt have to be Objective-C specific, although ideally it would describe dynamic languages, not static ones like C++ or Java.)

For nib loading, my iOS book pounds home all the key points (these are *instances* you're making and now you need a way to get *references* to them). The key chapter is available for free online:

The book does also introduce OOP concepts, of course, but it those chapters are somewhat spread out and aren't all available free, and are rather tightly tied to Objective-C and the particular behavior of the Cocoa frameworks; you'd have to see the actual book to decide if it's appropriate for your purposes (let me know off-list if you'd like a copy). There's also a fun OOP explanation in my Ruby intro, but it's rather tightly tied to Ruby:
