After chatting with iPhone developer Cobra about his most recent UICoverFlowLayer example, I decided to simplify UICoverFlowLayer creation. What I found was this: programming cover flow is eerily reminiscent of programming tables. Like tables, you create a data source method in your main application. This data source supplies your coverflow layer with images on demand. And, like tables, you build delegate methods that react to selection changes. When a user taps on an image, you can catch that selection change and do something about it.
