Storyboards
Storyboards are a visual design tool used in iOS and macOS development within Xcode to create and manage user interfaces. They allow developers to design app screens, define navigation flows, and connect UI elements to code using a drag-and-drop interface. Storyboards provide a graphical representation of an app's view controllers and their relationships, simplifying UI development and maintenance.
Developers should learn Storyboards when building iOS or macOS apps with Xcode, as they streamline UI design and reduce boilerplate code for navigation. They are particularly useful for rapid prototyping, creating simple to moderately complex interfaces, and when working in teams where visual clarity aids collaboration. However, for large-scale or dynamic UIs, programmatic approaches or SwiftUI might be preferred to avoid merge conflicts and improve performance.
