Well, I've taken the plunge. Been messing around with the developer tools that came with OS X. Mainly been trying to put a program together for work. It will be a training guide to OS X specifically showing what our employees need to know on OS X.
I'm trying to use Interface Builder. There's a rough beginning put together. But I'm having problems trying to bring in graphics (Company Logo, screen shots etc.) I also would like to be able to put Quicktime Movies into it. What are some of the experiences with the developers tools? Should parts of what I'm wanting to do be created in different programs?
No, I'm not a novice user. Been working on Macs for ten years now. But this is the first time I've tried to tackle putting a program together. Any suggestion and help and what I need to do, and use putting a program together in OS X using the tools that Apple has provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, sorry about the thread in OS X - Usage & Support. I clicked on move, and it locked the thread but never transferred it (It was a slow day).

I think that the best place for you to start would be if you took a look at Apple's Currency Converter tutorial. It shows how to use Interface Builder and Project Builder together. You can't build much of a program in Interface Builder alone. If you have the developer tools installed, you can find currency converter at /Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/ObjCTutorial/CurrencyConverterTutorial.pdf
If you wish to figure out how to manipulate images and the like take a look at Apple's listing of Cocoa APIs at /Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/CocoaTopics.html
AppKit and Foundation are Apple's sets of API's for doing most stuff. NSImage and NSMovie, to display images and movies, are listed there.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times:

It's a great resource. Browse through the Softrac archive and download some source code. You'll probably learn a lot by simply reading through the code of some other programs.
