Having covered actions and outlets in the previous chapter, it is now time to make practical use of these concepts. With this goal in mind, this chapter will work through the creation of a WatchKit app intended to demonstrate the way in which the Interface Builder and Assistant Editor features of Xcode work together to simplify the creation of actions and outlets to implement interactive behavior within a WatchKit app.

Next to coming up with project names, managing tables in a responsive layout is one of the trickiest problems in web development. Semantically structured tables are notoriously difficult to style as anything other than… well… a table. On the other hand, cobbling together a pile of divs and spans into a table-like shape means giving up the semantic meaning, accessibility, and navigability of real table elements to represent tabular data, or it means jumping through hoops to recreate those features. When it comes down to it, the semantic benefits of real table elements make them our first and best choice.
