  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.
