Core Data is intricate, powerful, and necessary. Discover the powerful
capabilities integrated into Core Data, and how to use Core Data in your
iOS and OS X projects. All examples are current for OS X El Capitan, iOS
9, and the latest release of Core Data. All the code is written in
Swift, including numerous examples of how best to integrate Core Data
with Apple's newest programming language.
Core Data expert Marcus Zarra walks you through a fully developed
application based around the Core Data APIs. You'll build on this
application throughout the book, learning key Core Data elements such as
NSPredicate, NSFetchRequest, thread management, and memory management.
Start with the basics of Core Data and learn how to use it to develop
your application. Then delve deep into the API details. Explore how to
get Core Data integrated into your application properly, and work with
this flexible API to create convenience methods to improve your
application's maintainability. Reduce your migration difficulties,
integrate your Core Data app with iCloud and Watch Kit, and use Core
Data in a queue-based environment. By the end of the book, you'll have
built a full-featured application, gained a complete understanding of
Core Data, and learned how to integrate your application into the
iPhone/iPad platform.
This book is based on Core Data in Objective-C, Third Edition. It
focuses on Swift and adds an additional chapter on how to integrate Core
Data with an efficient network implementation, with best practices on
how to load and pre-load data into your Swift application.
