Core Animation: Adding that extra polish to your UI

Track: Smart phones, wednesday 15:35 - 16:25

In this talk we will be discussing some of the small things that we can do to improve the presentation of our User Interfaces.  We will be walking through a number of simple enhancements to our user interface that, while taking a small amount of code, provide a richer experience to the user and help us to avoid interrupting the user's experience with unnecessary alert dialogs or surprising the user with unexpected results.

As part of this session we will go through several code examples that can be used immediately in existing applications to present users with the information they nee to use our applications.

We will also review a few user interface don'ts when it comes to Core Animation and how to avoid them.
