What is the difference between UIViewController and UITableViewController

Question

Sometimes I want to subclass UIViewController for some app wide customizations. Eg. something that all view controllers should perform during viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear or so

Answer 1

It seems that the UITableViewController takes care of a lot of management issues that really you could just do for yourself, if you wanted to. Check out the documentation -- it will automatically create a UITableView for you, reload it, etc.
