Co-authored by Alex Vollmer, author of the Evri iPhone app and the PeepCode Screencast on MacRuby. The iPhone is possibly the most revolutionary computer device of the last few years. The good news is you can learn to write native applications for it! Programming applications for the iPhone is radically different from writing web applications, but we’ll take you through both the high-level concepts and the line-by-line code to understand it. While many tutorials show only fragmentary examples or trivial applications, we’ll walk through a visual news application that fetches data from a web service and displays it with both custom and stock views.

Our first iPhone View Controllers screencast (Part I) was an instant hit. This screencast completes it and continues the momentum in our new series of iPhone development screencasts.

In this tutorial you’ll become confident using the simple yet powerful table view controller. You’ll learn about layout, interaction, workflow, capabilities, and tips for working with tables.

We go beyond simple usage to show how to use a custom cell that dynamically displays multiline text. And you’re free to use it in your own projects, too!

Rotation and modal controllers are explained with a sample project included. Explanation is enhanced by the informative diagrams and motion graphics you’re used to seeing at PeepCode.
