9 years ago :+1: Excellent work Juan! The point of this homework was to explore a simple example of a full MVC application with a RESTful API. A few notes after checking out the code:
- Really appreciate how you tackled a collection view and added a lot of visual polish to your app!
- Nice code styling. The New York Times has a good summary of appropriate Objective-C coding conventions, you can take a quick look here.
- Nice work with the header files. You should always try to minimize the number of properties and methods in the header files and move all private properties and methods into the class extension (the @interface block in the .m file).
- In a future homework, we will cover how to implement models that can deserialize from an NSDictionary. It might be interesting to check out the Mantle project for a lightweight ORM.
- Nice work with the custom Movie cell and encapsulating it so that it can configure itself based on the
movieinstance. - Nice work loading the images asynchronously.
- Nice work setting up the proper modes for the images so that they are not stretched.
- Nice work implementing the error message on network failure.
