Overview
Auto Layout re-imagines the way developers create user
interfaces. It provides a flexible and powerful system that
describes how views and their content relate to each other and to
the windows and superviews they occupy. In contrast to older design
approaches, this technology offers incredible control over layout
with a wider range of customization than frames, springs, and
struts can express.
In this guide, Erica Sadun, bestselling author of The Core iOS 6
Developer's Cookbook and The Advanced iOS 6 Developer's
Cookbook, helps readers learn how to use Auto Layout
effectively, even masterfully, by providing an abundance of
examples alongside plenty of explanations and tips. Instead of
struggling with class documentation, you learn in simple steps how
the system works and why it’s far more powerful than you
first imagined. You read about common design scenarios and discover
best practices that make Auto Layout a pleasure rather than a chore
to use. Sadun includes examples of non-obvious ways to use Auto
Layout to build interactive elements, animations, and other
features beyond what you might normally lay out in Interface
Builder to help expand the reader’s design possibilities.
