I can't use awakeFromNib, because that w...

The part that's complicating my endeavor is: What UI elements/hierarchy should I employ to create a variable-height yet scrollable detail view? A great example of my goal is an arrangement like the m...

I've just unwrapped my new MacBook Pro (yay!) and am now setting it up properly for development.

So, is there any benefit in instal...
