New Course: Mastering Auto Layout
Want to become an Auto Layout master? Learn about constraint inequalities, priorities, layouts in code, adaptive layout, and more in this video course! By Jerry Beers.
Last week, we came out with a brand new course on Beginning Auto Layout, that covers the basics of iOS app layout, including autoresizing masks, Stack Views, and constraints.
But what if you’re familiar with the basics of Auto Layout already, but sometimes struggle with putting together a tricky layout?
Well, today we’re happy to announce a new course that might help: Mastering Auto Layout!
In this course, you’ll learn advanced ways of working with constraints such as inequalities, priorities, and creating layouts in code. You’ll also learn how to create adaptive layouts using size classes.
By the time you are done this course, you’ll be able to create even the trickiest of layouts. Let’s take a look at what’s inside!
Video 1: Introduction. Dive a little deeper into Auto Layout. Learn more about creating complex constraints, debugging Auto Layout, and creating universal layouts for all devices.
Video 2: Constraint Inequalities. For more powerful layouts, learn how to use constraints that are greater than or less than a given value.
Video 3: Constraint Priorities. Learn how to modify the priorities of constraints to create a powerful hierarchy that can handle multiple situations.
Video 4: Constraints in Code. You’ve learned a lot about using constraints in Interface Builder — now see how to interact with them in your code.
Video 5: Visual Format Language. The Visual Format Language lets you create many constraints quickly, but it’s also used in the logs to describe what has been created.
Video 6: Debugging Auto Layout. Learn how to look under the hood and understand why Auto Layout is placing a specific view in a specific spot.
Video 7: Size Classes. Go one step further than constraints and define differences in your layout between devices of different size classes.
Video 8: Images. Views and constraints aren’t the only things you might want to vary by size class. Learn how to adjust fonts, images, and more.
Video 9: Adaptive Layout Environment. The adaptive layout environment describes layout traits that you can use to adjust to different situations.
Video 10: Adaptive Presentation. View controllers can adapt how they are presented based on the adaptive environment. Learn what the framework does for you and how to modify its behavior.
Video 11: Conclusion. Recap what you’ve learned in this series, and check out a few Auto Layout tips to keep your layout tasks simple.
