Chapter 3. Interface Builder, XIB, and Storyboard

Apple provides a complete list of tools to simplify and improve the way we build applications. Xcode, by all means, can be considered a big container of these tools.

One of the Xcode instruments that you will use the most is the Interface Builder editor. During this chapter, you'll learn how it can be employed to create interfaces dropping components into a Storyboard (or an XIB file) and how those components can be connected to your classes.
