Now that we have loaded some Feed data, we need to customize our page with some data binding.
To avoid having to worry about managing the title for each blog, we will instead data bind the title text directly to the title of the feed.
This will let us offer a consistent user experience, with a minimum of scaffolding in our code.
In this video, I will show you how to bind a data item to a grid element, and change the column span of a grid.

When working with files in Objective-C, we can specify the paths to them as follows:
NSString *path = @/Users/pavel/file.txt;
However, the recommended way (by Apple engineers) to specify that is by using URL-s (Uniform Resource Locator).
The iOS SDK class that provides us urls manipulation is named NSURL, and it has a lot of class convenience methods that make developers lives easier.
To create a NSURL object, we use the syntax:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@file:///Users/pavel/file.txt];
Note that the way we specify the string is different from in path cases.
It should always have the file schema in front of it, than a colon, and 3 slashes.
If we want to create a NSURL object, providing a string as in path cases, we can use a NSURL method which allows us to do that:
NSURL *newUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@/Users/pavel/Public/file.txt];
To move files from one location to another using urls instead of paths, we should use:
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] moveItemAtURL:url toURL:newUrl error:nil]; Working with paths and urls in Objective-C](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xix_7Nqa7qM/mqdefault.jpg)


![How to use the UIImageView class to animate a series of images

An image view object provides a view-based container for displaying either a single image or for animating a series of images. For animating the images, the UIImageView class provides controls to set the duration and frequency of the animation. You can also start and stop the animation freely.
You specify the animation images by setting the animationImages property of the UIImageView object:
imageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:@blue],
[UIImage imageNamed:@green],
[UIImage imageNamed:@orange],
nil];
We specify the duration of the animation by setting the animationDuration property:
imageView.animationDuration = 3.0f;
We can start or stop animating the images by sending startAnimating or stopAnimating messages to the image view object:
[imageView startAnimating];
or
[imageView stopAnimating];
All images associated with a UIImageView object should use the same scale. If your application uses images with different scales, they may render incorrectly.
