Recap

This chapter shows two types of execution flow in an iOS app. The first deals with the steps an app follows to launch—a far cry from the top-to-bottom approach of web browser coding. You’ve seen how important the delegation design pattern is to getting a native iOS app going. It is the applicationDidFinishLaunching: delegate method that triggers further loading and initializations for your app. Also demonstrated here is one way a view can display another view as a user navigates around your app. Views take the place of web pages in the way you think about app structure.

In the next chapter, I walk you through three programming concepts that may be quite foreign to you, but whose understanding is crucial to successfully design and implement apps with the iOS SDK. You’ll learn how easy you had it with JavaScript.
