From Justin Williams: "WWDC is a wonderful opportunity to read tea leaves and see where Apple is going by their new APIs and how hard they are pounding concepts into your heads each year. In addition to pushing Auto Layout this year, you also saw many instances of a resizable iOS simulator and a new technology for handling all this crazy idiom and orientation stuff: size classes." "A size class is a new technology used by iOS to allow you to custom your app for a given device class, based on its orientation and screen size." "There are two goals with size classes: 1. To get developers and designers out of the habit of thinking in terms of specific devices, and instead thing of a more generalized approach. 2. To plan for the future." "The first one obviously leads to the second. You've no doubt seen the countless rumors that the iPhone 6, 7 or whatever is going to be a larger device. You've probably heard that Apple is working on wearables. Guess what will make developing for these new devices easier? Size classes." Of all the posts about iOS 8 features, this is the first time I have heard about Size Classes. It's important for BT developers to understand and use that new technology. Read the excellent post on how this will affect our code and position us for the future of iOS devices (Phones, Tablets, connected TVs, and Wearables) http://carpeaqua.com/2014/06/14/thinking-in-terms-of-ios-8-size-classes/ -- Niraj

I learned about this from the iOS Bytes eMail Newsletter. I encourage you to subscribe to their insights about the iOS world. I appreciate their detailed show notes as I don't listen to podcasts. http://iosbytes.envylabs.com/ This particular newsletter can be read at this long link: http://us7.campaign-archive2.com/?u=b9a8d14c0dcb1dab9fa67a13a&id=7833a7b9e6&e=aa9a01eedb -- Niraj

Cool thanks!

There's an interesting video from WWDC about these Size Classes. It quickly demonstrates them. I think it's in the 'Platforms State of Union' video from WWDC 2014.

I liked the pizza. Bit crusty but still good.
