I tried out Interface Builder, but I'd prefer just to write the code. I understand this is reasonable and many iPhone developers don't use IB.
Does anyone know any good tutorials/resources about this?
All I have found so far is this video: http://www.vimeo.com/3363949
Interface Builder is a software development application for Apple's macOS operating system. It is part of Xcode (formerly Project Builder), the Apple Developer developer's toolset. Interface Builder allows Cocoa and Carbon developers to create interfaces for applications using a graphical user interface.
First, in Xcode, go to the Resources folder from the tree view on the left and select MainMenu. xib . It will open in the main view. This is where you are going to build you UI.

And a more iPhone specific tutorial can be found here: http://www.iphonemusings.com/2009/01/iphone-programming-tutorial-creating.html
I've used iCodeBlog for iPhone tutorials. They work pretty good. Here is the Interface builder category
