UIStoryboard
In your projects so far, you've laid out the interfaces of your view controllers in separate
XIB files and then instantiated the view controllers programmatically. In this chapter, you

and lay out all of your view controllers in one XIB-like file. Additionally, you can wire up
view controllers in the storyboard to dictate how they get presented to the user.
The purpose of a storyboard is to minimize some of the simple code a programmer has to
write to create and set up view controllers and the interactions between them. To see this
simplification - and its drawbacks - let's create an application that uses a storyboard.
