Day 3 (Navigation Controller with toolbar Tutorial)

In this tutorial, I learned more about navigation between Nib files and how connecting everything within SDK works. This tutorial was very good in explaining what needed to be done to the delegate and view controllers, but I still find a lack of communication describing what needs to be done in the Nib files within Interface Builder. I had to download the source file again to complete the tutorial, and then compare what I had completed from following the tutorial and what still needed to be done in the code as well as with the Nib files and connect them. Perhaps the writer just assumes that everyone knows exactly what they are doing, or believes that everyone has done his previous tutorials before this one and should be able to complete it from memory. Whatever his thoughts are, again I would like to see more tutorials that are more complete in describing every step to complete the lesson.

This tutorial, once completed, will give you a great basis of understanding how each Nib file interacts with each other in connections with the application. Though it is not very well explained, once completed you will see how each step within the tutorial reacts or causes the application to work within its parameters. Even though the tutorial is in my opinion incomplete, it will give you the basis understanding of how nib files, navigation controllers, toolbars work together to create an interactive navigation based application.
