The OS X storyboard websites I found helpful include those listed below. The first few are general overviews, and the rest are more narrowly focused on specific storyboard techniques.
The Brimelow video tutorial is a very good introduction and overview.
The Ray Wenderlich tutorial is essential to understand how to use container views with OS X storyboards. This is what broke the storyboard logjam for me. I had been struggling to use the new split view controllers and tab view controllers with nib files and getting nowhere. I'm still convinced they can be used with nib files, but I never figured out how. They are really, really easy to use with storyboards, which convinced me that storyboards are the way to go in OS X from now on.
I also like the fact that, in El Capitan, storyboards can be broken up into pieces, using transition segues to get from storyboard file to storyboard file. Now I can create smaller storyboards that are divided into topical units in much the way that I have done with nib files in the past, without losing the great storyboard benefit of segues.
