Rotate UIViewControllers that conform to a protocol
/*
This is an update to an example found on http://www.jairobjunior.com/blog/2016/03/05/how-to-rotate-only-one-view-controller-to-landscape-in-ios-slash-swift/
The code there works, with some updating to the latest Swift, but the pattern isn't very Swifty. The following is what I found to be more helpful.
*/
/*
First, create a protocol that UIViewController's can conform to.
This is in opposition to using `Selector()` and checking for the presence of an empty function.

New stuff from WWDC 2015

Here's my own list of the interesting stuff announced during this year's WWDC, collected from the keynotes, various Apple docs, blog posts and tweets.

If you're planning to watch the videos, I really recommend this Mac app that helps you download and watch them: https://github.com/insidegui/WWDC.

iOS Core Animation: Advanced Techniques, Part 1: The Layer Beneath

Author: https://www.cyanhall.com/

1. The Layer Tree

Core Animation's original name is Layer Kit

Core Animation is a compositing engine; its job is to compose different pieces of visual content on the screen, and to do so as fast as possible. The content in question is divided into individual layers stored in a hierarchy known as the layer tree. This tree forms the underpinning for all of UIKit, and for everything that you see on the screen in an iOS application.

In UIView, tasks such as rendering, layout and animation are all managed by a Core Animation class called CALayer. The only major feature of UIView that isn’t handled by CALayer is user interaction.

There are four hierarchies, each performing a different role:

By inspecting the user's address book and finding the most common city, state, and zip code - we can make an educated guess as to the user's location without using CoreLocation.
