What's In Nib
File's Owner It represents the object that loads the Nib file from disk. In other word, File's Owner is the object that owns this copy of Nib file.
First Responder A responder object is an object that can respond to events and handle them. UIResponder is the base class for all responder objects, also known as, simply, responders.
The First Responder represents the object with which the user is currently interacting. In other word, it is the current focused control. ie., the user is currently enterring data into a text field, that field is current First Responder.
The First Responder changes as the user interacts with the interface, and First Responder gives your convenient way to communicate with whatever control or view is the current first responder without having to write code to determine which control or view that might be.
Other icon Other icon in this widow represents an object instance that will be created when the nib file loads.
