Thanks Jiri for pointing me to iPhone tutorial, thats what I'm trying to develop.

Yeah IB definitely feels like a PoS right now.  The annoying thing is that I downloaded a simple tutorial that is basically a launcher to a website, i plugged in my URL and it worked fine.  So i go to create a new project that will be just like the alter tutorial, except with a different name.  Copy and paste the code, renaming appropriately, and creating the XIBs with the right objects, and so on.  But it will not work! It compiles fine but i get the White Screen of Oblivion on the iPhone Simulator.  It must be a missing connection in IB, but I just can't figure what is not connecting.  Hence my desire to bypass IB all together.

I did the little sample project described in the iPhone Tutorial, and tried some adjustments to my project based on what i learned, but still dice.

Furthermore, I can't even get Xcode to associate the icon i specified in info.plist with the app.

I hated IB at the start.  Felt precisely as you do.  Made a couple of small apps without it.  Really cumbersome.

So I ground through several more tutorials.  Got the hang of IB.  No longer hate it.  Just tolerate it.

HTH

Is it possible to write Cocoa applications without having to use Interface Builder?  I find IB to be rather unintuitive and would like to create GUI programs programmatically.  Is this possible? All the tutorials I see involve using IB.
