Default Programming without Interface Builder

I started out programming in assembly langauge, so I like to know the nuts and bolts of what I'm dealing with. Interface Builder is great, but I'd really like to know how to program without it, so I understand what Interface Builder is doing.

Does anyone know of any books or tutorials online or for purchase which show iphone programming without using interface builder?

The few books I've been able to purchase so far all just rely heavily on interface builder. I'd like to know how to make all those connections without using it.

What I did what start by using one of the standard iPhone app templates from Xcode - say a simple navigation based app.

This will create two IB based files - main window and root view. Figure out how to remove the root view and create all your other own views and controllers.

A few of the sample apps that come with the SDK don't use IB, except for maybe the main window. Those will be helpful.

I made my entire project without using interface builder..

I prefer to just do it by code.

An example is the bubbleLevel app.. no IB at all.

IB doesn't make all the connections the same way that you would do it in code. Writing 100 lines of code that builds a view hierarchy isn't the same way that IB does it. You'll be learning a different way, not the same way.

Hello,

I have the same question as zacware. How we can programming without Interface Builder ? It's to have a programme reading without Interface Builder and to learn how we can do it just with code.
I just want to know how to create a small interface with two views and a transition between them. Do you know where I can find it ?

To get 2 views with a transition between then just create a new project in xcode and select that it is based on a Utility project. Then compile and run and your done.

To add buttons, text fields etc (still not using interface builder) go to Apple's website and download the UI Catalog example code. It shows what all of the different UI components look like and also if you examine the code how to add these components programatically.

Hope this helps
