iOS for the Impatient

As iOS grows and changes, apps must evolve with it. Modern software shouldn't be tied to specific devices or coordinate systems. With re-usable, device- and orientation-agnostic code, your apps can adapt to whatever environment and geometry they face. Existing tools like Auto Layout and Dynamic Type as well as new APIs enable you to create a new generation of apps that coordinate with their device, with each other, with the desktop, and the cloud.

iOS for the Impatient introduces you to the essential features you'll need to take part in this new development paradigm.
