In the previous tutorial I mentioned “UITableView Controller’s are the most frequently used Controller”. Now think of a TableView without any rows (so called cells), the table will not make any sense. UitableViewCells are the rows for a UITableView. Now the default version of UITableViewCell is not of any use for most of the applications. Every client you work for or every Project that comes in your way they will ask you to customize the UITableViewCell with so many more features.
In this video I will show you how you can achieve that using UITableViewCell Custom class.

UITableView Controller’s are the most frequently used Controller. There will be hardly an app that might not have UITableView Controller. Apple has created a ViewController specifically for UITableView Controllers so that we dont have to code much of it.
These are subclassed from ScrollViews so they already implement the scrolling feature in it, for multiple rows in a table. It has a couple of delegate methods which also help us to create a table based app within a few minutes. Check out this video for more details.
