Storyboarding is one of the things I enjoy doing. It is quick and easy to set up your UI with storyboards. Being able to drag and drop what you need onto the canvas is such an efficient method of developing app storyboards. There are times when you will need to code, but being able to work on things without having to write any code is an excellent capability. My preference is to use storyboards as much as possible, but many developers prefer to work in code. If you come from another programming language, try to keep an open mind and learn storyboarding.

When you work on a project that uses storyboards, you can get a high-level overview of the project. When everything is written in code, it takes more time to get a basic idea of how the app is structured, and its overall flow. Again, some people love to code their UI, and we will do some of that in this book. My main point is that you have to find what works for you. This book leans more toward the storyboard side versus the coding side of setting up your UI.

In the next chapter, we will continue setting up our UI, and become familiar with more of the UI elements that you have seen in many iOS apps.
