Help with My First Xcode Application

I am just started my Cocoa programming education. I have mostly a non-object-oriented programming background. I do have a little C++ education. I am using OS X 6.1.2, XCode 3.2.1 and getting started in Aaron Hilligass' Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X. I am using the Second Edition of the book (which I know is not the book for my Xcode release) and need a little help on the first programming exercise in Chapter 1. I followed all the instructions and everything looked pretty much the same as the example. However, when I Build & Run the application it does not generate any output. I suspect I am having problems with the part where I am dragging the object that will handle the outputted text. In the Second Edition the author references "dragging a text field named System Font Text" from the system palette and placing it on the blank window. In Xcode 3.2.1 I don't see anything that is similar to this. Any ideas on what to check would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

First App Now Working

After talking to a friend of mine who is familiar with Cocoa application development, I can see a very clear reason to upgrade to the latest edition of "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X." There were a number of significant changes made to Interface Builder and Xcode for the Snow Leopard upgrade and the next edition seems to follow the Snow Leopard version pretty well. I made two changes to my application to get it working. First, in the Library Window of Interface Builder I deleted the previously defined Outlet and added a new one with Type set to NSTextField to my textField object. Second, I did not realize that the connection making process had directionality. I right clicked on the Foo instance in my MainMenu.xib window. I then hovered over the Outlet radio button and when it changed to a "+" sign I clicked and drug to the textField output field. After I made those two changes I clicked on Build & Run and the application worked just fine.
