How do you display a simple image on your application?

[DGordon]

I am new to programming, I basically no nothing, and all I want to do is to display an image on the screen. I don't want the image to be from my iphoto or camera library, I want it to be like a background image, like the red jewel in the I Am Rich app.

Create a view based application. Add the image to your resources folder. Go into your viewcontroller.xib, open your library, drag in a UIImageView and set the image the the image you want.
