Sources for learning iPhone Core Data [closed]

Question

i am new to iPhone. i want to learn Core Data. what are the best sources to learn it. Tutorials, Books ??

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

PragProg have two relevant books in beta: their iPhone book includes a solid section on Core Data, and there's also their Core Data book itself.

Apple's Core Data Tutorial for iPhone OS is actually very good indeed, and worth working through. I found it to be the resource that most helped me click into Core Data, before looking in detail at the above books. (Of course, it is also worth looking through the non-iPhone specific Core Data docs.)

Also, Jeff LaMarche (co-author of the Apress Beginning iPhone Dev) has been posting up a fair bit of Core Data content on his blog lately, including paths past some basic but not always intuitive iPhone-specific gotchas. It's worth subscribing to his blog while you're getting into iPhone dev.

Answer 2

I recently compiled the following resources on my blog for beginning iOS development. Here's a basic rundown, and you can hit my blog for more details. These are the resources I considered the best while I have been ramping up.

Answer 3

on iTunes you can get some video tutorials made by the Stanford university which aren't too bad - at least they give you a good introduction...
