497 PointsProgramming Background Image
Just registered yesterday! Thanks for the awesome classes. I just have a quick question.
Why would I want to program my background image when I could easily do the same using storyboard? I feel I am missing a pertinent point.

2,133 PointsI believe the point sometimes is to let you know how to do it trough programming. With creating references e.e - But once your comfortable and know that you can do it trough code. Use the storyboard, if it gives you the desired result :)

497 PointsI thought the same thing but I wasn't 100% sure. I guess if you do it programmatically you also have the opportunity to manipulate the background through code. You could probably still do the same thing though even if you made it in the storyboard.
