Learning Core Data for iOS Development

Question

I have been trying to learn iPhone development for a while now. I am now interested in looking at building a iPhone app using Core Data. I built a app using sql lite. The app I created using sql lite basically asks the user for two fields of information "firstname" and "lastname" and then it goes into a UI Table View. The user can then select their name in that list and then it goes to a new view with a label with there name. Really basic app. Im just trying to grasp the ideas on how to make a iOS app.

Any Suggestions on what tutorials I could use to learn core data and then display that information in a new view?

Answer 1

Good you decided to learn core data, a powerful alternative to sqlite.. See this Ray Wenderlich tutorial to get first grasp of core data. Then read a descriptive tutorial about core data here..To cap it off, you should read this..

Answer 2

Core Data is a great technology, and I use it, but beware that it's pretty complicated so don't get discouraged... An alternative and additional tool you may want to investigate is NSUserDefaults which fills a gap between CD and SQL imho. (Persistent dictionary, basically)
