These three files together-- the .xib, .h and .m -- form the implementation of a view controller. A lot of the work in building iOS apps is making view controllers.The job of a view controller is to manage a single screen from your app.

One of the design principles of iOS is that each screen in your app gets its own view controller. 

Simply put, the xib file contains the design of the view controller's user interface, while the .h and .m files contain its functionality. 

Making connectionspp30

The line of source code we have just added to BullsEyeViewControl.h lets Interface Builder know that the controller has a "showAlert" action, which presumably will show an alert view popup. We will now connect our button to that action. pp31

Files Owner

A xib, the user interface of a view controller,is owned by that view controller. This means the view controller will load that xib file, put all of its objects on the screen, and make the connections. The view controller will dispose of the xib file when the screen closes.  File's Owner, therefore, refers to the view controller object. 

Because actions are logic, not user interface, they are not defined in the xib file. In order for the button to hook up with showAlert, it must have a way to refer to the view controller's actions.

File's Owner is a convenient way to accomplish that. By dragging from the button to File's Owner, you tell Interface Builder that you want to connect the button to an action from the view controller.

If you're ever wondering who the File's Owner is for a xib, then select File's Owner and open the Identity Inspector. The Custom Class field will show you the owner's name.
