In the last episode of this series, we factor out view code from the large view controller into a custom view class.

Episode 108 · Jul 06 2018

We use the child view controller we created last time to factor out more code from the large view controller.

Episode 107 · Jun 29 2018

We extract a child view controller to further slim down our large view controller, making sure the code keeps compiling throughout the process.

Episode 106 · Jun 22 2018

We refactor networking-related code out of the view controller, separating networking and data transformation logic from UI code in the process.

Episode 105 · Jun 15 2018

We extract Core Data-related code from the large view controller and move it into the model layer.

Episode 104 · Jun 08 2018

We begin refactoring a large view controller from the Wikipedia iOS app by pulling pieces of helper code out as pure functions.

Episode 103 · Jun 01 2018

We continue implementing a mini player in the MVC variant of the sample app found in our App Architecture book.

Episode 87 · Feb 09 2018

We add a mini player to the MVC variant of the sample app found in our App Architecture book. We adjust our storyboard and discuss how to adapt the architecture.

Episode 86 · Feb 02 2018

Today we're releasing the early access edition of our new App Architecture book. We explain how it came about, what's in it, and how early access works.

Episode 84 · Jan 19 2018

We continue to expand our experimental view binding mechanism to implement dark mode in our app.

Episode 74 · Nov 03 2017

We experiment with reactive view bindings that don't rely on runtime programming.

Episode 73 · Oct 27 2017

We introduce a project we're going to work on over a few episodes. To get familiar with the code, we build a new feature using the app's view-state driven approach.

Episode 72 · Oct 20 2017

We extend our Elm-style app with a more dynamic view hierarchy by adding a navigation controller and a table view.

Episode 68 · Sep 22 2017

We refactor our reducer-based project from episode #62 to use The Elm Architecture. Instead of interacting with UIKit directly, we build a virtual view hierarchy and let our Elm framework do the rest.

Episode 66 · Sep 08 2017

We show the reducer pattern to simplify state management and to make typical view controller code more testable.

Episode 62 · Aug 11 2017

We write a dedicated target-action to make it easier to augment existing UI controls with callbacks.

Episode 54 · Jun 16 2017

Instead of letting multiple view controllers manage the navigation bar's state individually, we pull this code out and unify the logic in one place.

Episode 43 · Mar 31 2017

We discuss the pros and cons of delegates versus callback functions and why delegate protocols are always class only.

Episode 24 · Nov 11 2016

We create an abstraction around stack views using enums to specify UI elements in a declarative style.

Episode 7 · Jul 22 2016

We refactor our code by moving the app's flow from the storyboard into a separate coordinator class. This avoids view controllers having implicit knowledge of their context.
