Life Beyond Storyboards: Building your UI in code
summary
Shows how to delete storyboards, edit Info.plist, create a UIWindow, set rootViewController and call makeKeyAndVisible to boot a programmatic app and then registers table cells and pushes view controllers manually. Demonstrates Auto Layout with Visual Format (one string can create about 12 constraints), iOS 9 layout anchors to shrink boilerplate, intrinsicContentSize and estimatedRowHeight to get dynamic table cells to size correctly, and content hugging/compression priorities. Mentions SnapKit Masonry and PureLayout as helper libraries and gives concrete code patterns for stack views lazy subviews and registering cells.
