Hi Brandon,

Could you do a tutorial that combines a few of the UI features you've been using (table views, tab bars, etc) because despite going through the tutorials, the concept of the controller in interface builder and interfacing it with the code is a bit strange. Or maybe build an app with these features built in programmatically instead of using interface builder.  If not a tutorial, maybe you could help me out a bit? thanks.

Cheers

So in the tutorials we start off with a templates for navigation based, utility based, or tab based programs, etc and these templates provide you with the configured controllers necessary to control them.  In interface builder there's not just the UI items but the controllers as well.  So say i want to create a tab based application that has a tab with a UITableView that will be sort of like the Fruits app (in its own tab) or have a tab that has a flip screen (like a utility app). I've taken these templates and the tutorials and tried to add other UI features to it.  Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't behave as expected…other times nothing happens at all.  I'm just not sure how to use them i guess or how my code should be organized.  Should i start without the templates and try and create everything? i just started developing in xcode with the iphone sdk (i used to work with C, so OOP is a bit strange, but i get the concepts) and it all just seems strange when I'm trying to add these features and work towards my app. thanks.
