Pro iOS Table Views: for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

by Tim Duckett

If you’re an iOS app developer, chances are you’ll be using table views in your development projects. Table views are the bread and butter of iOS apps. With them, you can create everything from the simplest of lists to fully tricked-out user interfaces. Table views are also one of the most complex components found in UIKit. While using them for boring standard user interfaces is quite simple, customizing them can become really challenging. Pro iOS Table Views takes a task-oriented focus to assist you when implementing customized table views. Although it delves deeply into the Table View API, you can always decide in which level of detail you want to dive in. It’s aimed to be a great reference and customization cookbook at the same time, useful for beginners as well as intermediate developers. source code for this title is currently available for download

What does it mean when you can write a 300+ page book just on using tables in iOS? Since I am still fairly new to iOS and Objective-C programming, this book not only helped expose me to the intricacies of custom Table Views, it taught me a number of things about Views in general. If you want to get to know Table Views and are just getting started in iOS, this is worth the read.

My plan was to skip the beginner stuff and get right to the "Pro" content, but I pretty much skipped right to the end. There were a few useful tidbits in there, but nothing to warrant the "Pro" in the title.
