Mental shift
Impacts your life
Wife: “Honey are you still working with that auto layout
thing?”
Wife: “Honey are you still working with that auto layout
thing?” Me: “Yeah, how do you know?”
Wife: “Honey are you still working with that auto layout
thing?” Me: “Yeah, how do you know?” Wife: “Because I am hearing more ‘f*ck’ and ‘sh!t’ than usual”.
You DON’T setFrame: anymore
You DON’T setFrame: anymore You DECLARE a layout
You express relations between elements

Linear equations
ax + by = c Linear equations
ax + by = c Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
=> [x = 1, y = 1] Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
=> [x = 1, y = 1] 2(x+5)-7 = 3(x-2) Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
=> [x = 1, y = 1] 2(x+5)-7 = 3(x-2) => [x = 9] Linear equations
0x + 1 = 2

Geometry helps

Geometry helps No solution 3x + 2y = 12 3x
+ 2y = 6
Geometry helps Infinite solutions y = 10x + 4 -30x
- 12 = -3y
Likes one solution scenarios Multiple solutions => ambiguous layout No
solution => conflicting constraints

NSLayoutConstraint

[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:newElement attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:newElement attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual

Zen

DON’T think in terms of frames
