iPhone View Controllers Part II
Co-authored by Alex Vollmer, author of the Evri iPhone app and the PeepCode Screencast on MacRuby.
Our first iPhone View Controllers tutorial (Part I) was an instant hit. This screencast completes it and continues the momentum in our new series of iPhone development tutorials.
In this tutorial you’ll become confident using the simple yet powerful table view controller. You’ll learn about layout, interaction, workflow, capabilities, and tips for working with tables.
We go beyond simple usage to show how to use a custom cell that dynamically displays multiline text. And you’re free to use it in your own projects, too!
Rotation and modal controllers are explained with a sample project included. Explanation is enhanced by the informative diagrams and motion graphics you’re used to seeing at PeepCode.
We conclude with a priceless tour of troubleshooting tips that will help you write more reliable applications with much less pain.
