Overview
Completed Updated for iOS 7 and Xcode 5
Auto Layout transforms the way you create iOS user interfaces. As
flexible as it is powerful, Auto Layout gives you unprecedented
control over your iOS user interfaces. But Auto Layout has a
reputation for difficulty. In iOS Auto Layout Demystified,
Second Edition, world-renowned iOS developer and author Erica Sadun
strips away the confusion, helping you gain Auto Layout mastery the
easiest way possible: by example.
Fully updated for iOS 7 and Xcode 5, this tutorial delivers
everything Sadun’s guides are famous for: clear explanations,
expert tips, proven best practices--and, above all, plenty of code
to learn from and reuse.
Step by step, Sadun explains how Auto Layout “thinks,”
how it works, where it fits, and why it’s more useful (and
simpler) than you ever imagined. She offers practical solutions for
a wide variety of real-world iOS development challenges, plus
innovative ways to use Auto Layout to build interactive elements,
animations, and more.
If you’re an experienced iOS developer, this guide will
expand your design possibilities, helping you build apps that are
superbly usable and intuitive and stand out even in the most
crowded marketplace.
