This is a movies app displaying box office and top rental DVDs using the Rotten Tomatoes API.

Time spent: 11

Features

Required

• User can view a list of movies. Poster images load asynchronously.
• User can view movie details by tapping on a cell.
• User sees loading state while waiting for the API.
• User sees error message when there is a network error: http://cl.ly/image/1l1L3M460c3C
• User can pull to refresh the movie list.

Optional

• * All images fade in.

• * For the larger poster, load the low-res first and switch to high-res when complete.

• * All images should be cached in memory and disk: AppDelegate has an instance of NSURLCache and NSURLRequest makes a request with NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad cache policy. I tested it by turning off wifi and restarting the app.

• Customize the highlight and selection effect of the cell.

• Customize the navigation bar.

• Add a tab bar for Box Office and DVD.

• Add a search bar: pretty simple implementation of searching against the existing table view data.

• Add default image (if one is not available or hasn't loaded)
