Yes, I would second that. I am coming to Cocoa from a Windows background and face many of the same issues as vinai. I found getting to grips with Interface Builder to be very educational, and it's not so hard to figure out what is going on behind the scenes. Doing this has also influenced my thinking on how best to port my app across. Something I found very helpful is the way Xcode will set you up a minimal app with all the standed connections and menu items in place. I would recommend starting there vinai.
