Introduction

If you're an iOS app developer, chances are you'll be using table views somewhere in your development projects. Table views are the bread and butter of iOS apps. With them, you can create everything from the simplest of lists to fully tricked-out user interfaces.

Table views are one of the more complex components found in UIKit. Using them for (potentially boring!) standard user interfaces is quite simple, but customizing them can become much more challenging.

This book has a task-oriented focus to assist you when implementing customized table views. Although it delves deeply into the table view API, you can always choose the level of detail you want to dive into. This book aims to be a reference and customization cookbook at the same time, useful for beginners as well as intermediate developers.
