Introduction


Views controllers are an essential part of iOS development, providing a gateway for users to observe and manage essential data stored inside of an application. These controllers come in many shapes and sizes, and all go about helping users see and control data on screen.

As interface designers, it will be our job to select the appropriate interface element or screen view to properly portray our app interface. To create a top app, we're going to need to stock our interface arsenal with a variety of tricks including Alert Views, Table Views, and Web Views.

Note

Views are a portion of the iOS screen that are dedicated to organizing photos, text, or other content on screen.

In this chapter, we'll define the different views that make up our user interface and ways to optimize our design through proper implementation of each available option.
