 ###ComponentTableView/CollectionView
 
 Although the approach shown above works perfectly, it does clashes with the React-like component pattern.
 `ComponentTableView` and `ComponentCollectionView` expose the same interface and work with a simple array of `ListComponentItemType` (see also `ListComponentItem<ComponentViewType, ComponentStateType>: ListComponentItemType`).
 ComponentTableView/CollectionView takes care of cell reuse for you and apply a diff algorithm when the `items` property is set (so that proper insertions/deletions are performed rather than reloadData()).
 
-
-The example below shows the use of ComponentCollectionView.
-
-```swift
-class ViewController: UIViewController {
-
-    var items: [ListComponentItemType] = [ListComponentItem<MyComponentView, MyComponentState>]() {
-        didSet {
-        		// render the list when the items change
-             listComponentView.renderComponent()
-        }
-    }
-    let listComponentView = ComponentCollectionView()
-
-    override func viewDidLoad() {
-        super.viewDidLoad()
-
-        // generate some fake data
-        for _ in 0..<10 {
-           	let item = ListComponentItem<MyComponentView, MyComponentState>()
-           	item.delegate = self
-           	items.append(item)
-        }
-
-        // configure the list component.
