7. Challenge: Adding Keyboard Insets: Your challenge is to add some keyboard insets to the sample project.
8. Paging Scroll Views: Scroll views can be used to layout view controllers next to each other. This allows you to add paging to your app.
9. Paging Control A paging control shows the user where they are located in a series of pages. You’ll learn how to use this control in this video.
10. Challenge: Adding a Paging Control: Your challenge is to add a paging control to the sample app.
11. Conclusion: This video concludes this section and gives a brief overview of the next and final section.

6. Challenge: Add Refresh Control: Now you know how to use a refresh control, your challenge is to add it to the sample app.
7. Custom Refresh Control: While the stock pull to refresh is nice, a custom pull to refresh is pretty awesome. In the remaining videos, you’ll learn how to make a cool-looking pull to refresh using scroll views.
8. Parallax Scrolling: The custom pull to refresh has many different image elements. With a bit of code, this video will show you how to add a parallax effect.
