iOS Components and Frameworks: Understanding the Advanced Features of the iOS SDK

Summary

This chapter introduced Core Data concepts, including the Core Data managed object, the managed object model, and Xcode’s visual managed object model editor. It showed how to create and fetch managed objects and interact with them in your app. The chapter explained how the Core Data environment is established in an iOS app, and how the persistent store coordinator, persistent stores, managed object contexts, and managed objects all work together to give you robust access to your application data. These are all the basic concepts needed to use Core Data; if it looks as though Core Data is right for your app, you can get up and running quickly with Chapter 13.
