👍 nice work. The primary challenge of this homework was to learn how to use UITableView to manage a complex form, establish communication between view controllers, and apply the correct Auto Layout constraints to build adaptive UI's that work across many different screen sizes and orientations. If you haven't already, we recommend going back and running your homework again while rotating the device / simulator to ensure your AutoLayout constraints function as expected.

This was a challenging assignment, congrats on completing it successfully!

👍 nice work. With this assignment, we've now explored all the main patterns for building MVC clients! If this were 2009, you would be well on your way to building most apps that you could find in the app store. Over the next few weeks, we'll be focusing on custom views and view controllers to implement the interactions and visual effects that we find in more modern iOS apps.

This was a very challenging assignment, congrats on completing it successfully!

👍 nice work. The point of this homework was to explore a simple example of a full MVC application with a RESTful API. Good job tackling a few optional features, the more you can implement each week, the more of the iOS framework you'll be able to explore.

Here's a checklist of things that I'm looking for in this project. You should review the checklist, and make any changes to your project, if necessary.

• Code styling. Check out the Ray Wenderlich Swift Style Guide and the Github Swift Style Guide
• Using groups to organize your source files. It's pretty common to organize your source files into Groups, especially for larger projects. You can organize by type of class (i.e. View Controllers, Views, etc) or for larger apps by functionality (i.e. Home Screen, Search Screen, etc).
• Minimize the number of public functions and properties in your classes. You should always try to minimize the number of properties and functions that are public or internal. If unspecified, the scope is internal.
• Set the Content Mode for your ImageViews. By default the UIContentMode will stretch the image to match the dimensions of the image view, which is probably not what you want. You usually want it set to Aspect Fill with clip subviews.
• Avoid naming collisions inside of your UITableViewCell. When creating a custom cell make sure to never name a property imageView, titleLabel, or subtitleLabel. Those are already defined by UITableViewCell and using them in your custom cell will cause subtle things to happen such as image views not loading until you click on the cell.
• Model classes. Creating a Movie model class will allow you move the deserialization code out of the view controller. You should also create a movie property in your custom cell and use a property observer to update the cell's subviews. There are certain libraries like SwiftyJSON that remove the need for a lot of boilerplate code and make it easier to convert from JSON to your model objects. Other popular repositories include Argo, ObjectMapper, and Decodable
• Next week, we'll cover how to use Auto Layout constraints to implement dynamic height rows and adjust to synopsis of different length.

In general, you should challenge yourself to create visually polished applications. That's where you'll find all the rough edges of the iOS framework and earn the next level of mastery.

👍 Nice work! We added this homework so that you'll have the experience building an app that's more similar in complexity to a production app. The optional account switching feature is interesting because you have to think about how TwitterClient is caching the access token to make sure it works correctly for multiple accounts.

Congratulations on finishing the final assignment! It's impressive to realize that in just four weeks, you've gone from building a simple tip calculator app to a polished MVC client.
