Also a fun fact: Stanford University in their CS 193p classes teaches how to utilize Storyboards. And Auto Layout. And everything else that Apple provides for the devs.
While I have no idea why M4v3R made that comment, as it's utterly irrelevant what Stanford teaches in their iPhone app class, it's also evident that you don't even know what M4v3R is referencing. He's referring to a class Stanford teaches on making iPhone apps, which has nothing to do with any sort of academic guidelines. The professor chose to use Storyboards, and that's that.
Stanford academic guidelines endorsed and supported by Apple, Inc.
I wonder what approach Evan Doll uses at Flipboard...hmmm?
