Core Animation Code

These are code examples for the book iOS Core Animation Advanced Techniques written by Nick Lockwood, include code examples from Chapter 1 to Chapter 10.

Recently, I'm reading the awesome book. I think I should write some code. So I copy and paste the easy part from the book to Xcode, and write the hard part bodily after I understand well. Gradually, I accumulate these code examples.
