A fetched results controller is a powerful way to tie a fetch request to a UITableView. The fetched results controller sets up a fetch request so that the results are returned in sections and rows, accessible by index paths, and then exposes methods that make it convenient to get the information needed to implement a table view. In addition, the fetched results controller can listen to changes in Core Data and update the table accordingly using delegate methods, and can even animate changes to the table view. For a detailed explanation of setting up a fetched results controller–backed table view, refer to the section “Introducing the Fetched Results Controller” in Chapter 13.
