View Controller Best Practice

[Bluearms]

I've put together an app that uses a table view and navigation controller to display a list of documents (they are HTML docs), clicking on a document will open up a detail view and display its contents.
That works a treat but its just one part of a bigger app that will have other functionality and be based on more standard view controllers.
I've done a lot of digging around but am still unsure on the best approach to take for building the overall app. A lot of advice seems to be to use the navigation template and push out my other views hiding the navigation bar but is there not a better way? I've read the Apple docs and Modal View controllers sound like an option but would this require me to create the table view controller/navigation controller from scratch?

Really appreciate someone taking the time to help get me on the right track

Cheers

One of the easiest and user friendly way is to set your navigation through UINavigationController objects.

This way you'll have your documents list (listViewController.h) and when the user selects one then the selected document detail is pushed (docDetailViewController.h).

The way you implement it in a bigger project dependes on your design but you can make a default Navigation Application to get started.
