Notes

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.

Flix

Flix is an app that allows users to browse movies from the The Movie Database API.

📝 UNIT 2 OVERVIEW:

In this unit you'll learn how to build a Detail View, an extremely common feature found in almost every app. A Detail View allows users to get more "details" about something in your app, usually by tapping on an item in a list to reveal a new "screen" which slides in from the right. We'll use this design pattern to extend our Flicks app so users can get more info about particular movies.

We'll also explore tab bars, another type of navigation, and try our hand with collection views to achieve a grid layout of movie cells. We'll continue to extend our Tumblr app as well adding a detail view. For an extra challenge, add section headers to your table view and leverage a pinch gesture recognizer to allow users to zoom in on an image.

Project Feedback!

👍 Nice work! The point of this homework was to get a chance to implement a TableView (one of the most common views in iOS) and to work with real data over the network (in this case from the Movies Database API).

A key part of these projects is that you add additional features and tweak the UI / UX because that will provide the most learning opportunities. We encourage you to complete the projects early each week with the required stories and then spend time adding your own UI elements and experimenting with optional extensions that will improve the user experience.

Project Feedback!

It looks like the following feature was not reflected on your GIF walkthrough:

• User can tap a poster in the collection view to see a detail screen of that movie
  • Details of the movies should be shown after a poster from the grid view is tapped.

Since the extension period is over, we will no longer regrade any resubmissions made after this date. We just want to let you know so that you make sure to reflect the features on your GIF for future submissions
