Any good guide about iPhone Core Data?

Question

I'm looking for some guide, I already looked at it a bit on cocoadev and in a book but I didn't find any good guide. I mean those guides were talking about multiple concepts at once so now I only want a simple straightforward guide about how to use it.

Anyone knows any good guide?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Marcus Zarra has an excellent Core Data book out from Pragmatic.

Answer 2

I found Apple's Core Data Tutorial for iPhone OS a good starting point.

Answer 3

Check this one out:

More iPhone 3 Development: Tackling iPhone SDK 3

http://www.amazon.com/More-iPhone-Development-Tackling-Beginning/dp/143022505X

This book and the previous one are excellent. This latest book starts with a very straightforward and detailed tutorial about Core Data spanning several chapters and so far I'm liking it much more than Marcus Zarra's Core Data book.

Answer 4

There is a very good tutorial from iPhone in Action which I find a straightforward guide for Core Data uses.

1. How Core Data models its data.

2. How to get data out of Core Data.

3. How to put data into Core Data.

4. How to insert data in advance.
