Some general functionality questions

Bill,

I would firstly like to commend you on your well presented series. I purchased them on the weekend and am currently moving through them – slowly. This is my first excursion into programming so please bear with me.

Firstly, referring to the general functionality of the recipes app, lists(screens) that point to sub lists(screens), recipe to ingredients. If I wanted to add more screens, maybe a screen with a picture and a few more lists, would I create a new class and a new xib file for each new window I require and reference them through MainWindow.xib file and AppDelegate class file? (I would then add buttons to navigate between the different screens – I’m not quite at that stage yet).

Secondly, what dictates the first screen loaded(the ‘Home screen’?) Is it in the AppDelegate class files?

Thanks for your patience and comments.
Bren

Hi Bren,

Thanks for the kind words!

It is typical to have each screen of your app be defined in its own xib file. So you are on the right track here.

The home screen bit is explained in the free 20 min episode (or should be). If you’ve not watched that please grab it and let me know if it does not address your questions.

Good Luck!
