Photo Gallery like table iOS - ios

I am in the process of designing an application that will look like the image below. I am wondering if there is anything out there that will help me create this style of a table. I have seen three20 and other sources. I already figured out how to load images from the website I need, using JSON, now I need to put it into that view style. . It looks like it may be a basic gallery layout, but I am not sure where the best place to start may be.

Try to check UICollectionView https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/WindowsViews/Conceptual/CollectionViewPGforIOS/Introduction/Introduction.html

Have a look at UICollectionView. It's perfect for that sort of thing.
Ask again with specific questions if you have them.

The new UICollectionView framework is made for things like this, and it's really easy to use. The only downside to using a collection view is that it's only available on iOS 6+, so if you want backwards compatibility, you might want to look into third-party open source frameworks.
Here's a great tutorial on UICollectionViews to help you get started.

How to implement tabs on iOS at the top that are swipe-able?

I'm developing an iOS app and I was wondering how to implement a design element. I've looked but there isn't a answer that I was completely looking for. Any help would be great. :)
If you don't want to build it from the scratch, then maybe you can take a look at this- https://github.com/HighBay/PageMenu

How would I go implementing a stacked card-based view?

Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction of making a card view just like the one in the image shown below? I've been scouring the internet for over an hour trying to find a tutorial (in Swift) and all I could find was making the illusion of separated cards like this and this.
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated!
It wouldn't be that hard to do this yourself with custom code.
You could also use either a UICollectionView. Getting the look you want with a collection view is doable but would require some customization.
Yet another option is a third party framework like iCarousel (by Nick Lockwoods) iCarousel is very flexible and powerful, and comes with tutorials demonstrating a number of different options.

Is it possible to use Monotouch.Dialog to create a custom list like this?

I just discovered Xamarin Studio and Monotouch.Dialog, and I've been doing a lot of research on custom table cells. So far I've been pretty successful experimenting with some of the features, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to create something like this:
All of the samples I have seen still look like a standard iOS table view, with maybe a few colors changed here and there. My goal is to create truly customized cells, with customized spacing and what not. I'm not sure if this is even possible, so I figured I would ask you guys.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can create an OwnerDrawnElement. There's an explanation of this in the Owner-Drawn Element section of this doc:
http://docs.xamarin.com/guides/ios/user_interface/monotouch.dialog
There's also a sample here:

Reusing Views ios

Trying to develop a test app wherethe look is like ebook. user can flip the pages. However, app will have 40-50 pages to go through. Is there anyway to just update one view and even after re using you can easily turn it over and back. or do I have to create more views to achieve objective.
Can someone pls provide suggestion on which technique to use to solve this issue and also what to use for flipping like ebook?
Since you have tagged your question with iOS5 you can use a UIPageViewController (see also this one) to handle this behavior for you (datasource handling, gesture handling etc.). The logic behind it is that you provide an array of view controllers where each one controls and provides content for a page in your book.
One way is, please look in to "page base application". Please create a new project as page base application and work on that. You will find good amount of documentation online for this.

iOS iTunes Album Cover type (or similar) Image Display

Is there any tutorials that show how to make a Image display similar to the Album Art diaply in iTunes? Or anything similar. I followed code posted here, but I just cannot seem to get it working in the new XCode. Opening his project works fine, but using it in my own, the UIImageView renders the images beyond it's borders, making them appear over each other.
Any help would be appreciated.
I assume you're talking about CoverFlow?
I wrote a free, very easy to use CoverFlow library. It's modelled on the way that UITableView works, so if you can use that, you can use this. You can get it from here:
