What Hacker News says
2 sources( Disclaimer, it's a long read, and I've only read one section. )
Florian writes what to me is the most elegant library with respect to Auto Layout on iOS, https://github.com/dkduck/FLKAutoLayout, so being able to get his view on how Auto Layout works, and some tips & tricks have been really useful, and I've already made a few changes to my codebase whilst reading. Highly recommended if you've wrote some Auto Layout code and are trying to get a good grounding.
Also, I'm super excited to see things like Objc.io coming out of the iOS/Mac Dev community, makes me proud of the time I spend on similar pursuits in the same community. Rock on guys.
