Composing View Controllers pt.1: Storyboards composition

Watch on YouTube

Storyboards still open long debates on their usefulness vs. trade-offs. While their visual map of the app interface and flow is a big win for some developers, their string-y APIs and tight coupling between UI, controllers, and navigation is a no-no for others.

Composition is a great technique for managing complexity by separating systems in tiny parts that can later be composed and reused.

Can both coexist? In this episode, we tackle storyboard composition and other common problems: separating layout from code, reusable views, extending functionality, and much more.
