Challenge: Programmatic View Controller

ImageViewController is simple enough that it does not benefit much from having a XIB file. Create your own ImageViewController which is purely programmatic. Override loadView() to build the view(s) that you need and assign the root of that hierarchy to the view property. Do not call super.loadView(), as it will attempt to load the view hierarchy from a NIB file. As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter, loadView() is called to lazily load the view hierarchy the first time the view property is accessed.

If you need a hint, see NerdTabViewController in Chapter 31.
