Summary

In this chapter, we finished the application structure. We hooked up our explore cell to a restaurant list. Then, we were able to connect a restaurant to a detail. Next, we added a button to our details, which allows us to see restaurant reviews. Lastly, we added a map to our Map tab.

At this point, a good challenge would be to see whether you can get back to this point. Try starting from when we created the project toward the end of Chapter 6, Starting the UI Setup, in the Creating a new project section. See whether you can get from that point to here without the book and without missing anything. This will help you, and it is something I like to do with those I mentor.

In the next chapter, we will start digging more into the design and getting our app to look like the design visually.
