Getting started with the SplitViewController on the iPad

In this screencast, I show you how to build a simple iPad app using the new SplitViewController. As we build the app, you'll learn the basics of creating a SplitViewController-based app, and how to implement a simple XML reader to read an XML feed, display a list of article titles and load an article into the detail view when its title is tapped in the list.

A better way is to simply reloadData: from the XML parsers' didFinishDocument: method.

This is probably the best iPad SplitView related screencast that is out there at this time. Keep them coming, Elizabeth !

As someone who has done most of his iPhone programming without IB, I failed to change the rootViewController's tableView to be grouped. Programatically I just create it with that style but here it seems to be all hidden away somewhere.

Anybody can shed some light on this?
