UINavigationBar
In this section, you are going to give the UINavigationBar a descriptive title for the UIViewController that is currently on top of the UINavigationController’s stack.
Every UIViewController has a navigationItem property of type UINavigationItem. However, unlike UINavigationBar, UINavigationItem is not a subclass of UIView, so it cannot appear on the screen. Instead, the navigation item supplies the navigation bar with the content it needs to draw. When a UIViewController comes to the top of a UINavigationController’s stack, the UINavigationBar uses the UIViewController’s navigationItem to configure itself, as shown in Figure 14.10.
