Steven Lipton - Practical Auto Layout

One Storyboard to Rule Them All
Apple messed up. They wanted a simple, powerful but flexible system to lay out buttons, labels, images and other objects on the storyboard. They wanted a way to make only one layout and have it work on any iOS device in any orientation. They created Auto Layout and Size Classes. Then they messed up. They didn't tell anyone how to easily use it. Developer's have been skirting around Auto Layout for years, confused by bizarre menus and strange icons. Instead, many developers spend weeks writing extra code for the iPhone app or a landscape mode. Developers can lose thousands of potential customers by making a iPhone or iPad only app.

This might be you.

In iOS8, Apple required popovers, modal views, Alerts and Split views to use size classes. In iOS9, multitasking requires it. But most developers do not know the difference between a regular width and compact width. Doing so, they risk their code becoming obsolete and useless.

If you've ever used presentViewController:, this may be you.
