I am programming an online iPad shop however you can't buy products, only view their details.
I had part 1 of this question answered here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3501768/which-database-should-you-use-to-program-an-iphone-ipad-application
Part 2 is this.
The catalogue must be fast, so the database and images it displays must be part of the application itself – not streamed over the internet as you use the application.
The customer expects to create a new catalogue every 3 months or so.
I was thinking the best way to allow the client to manage the data is through a website content management system we build. Basically a CRUD (create/read/update/delete) system. This means the database will be online via a php/SQLLite database with images stored in a files.
Every three months we will copy the database and images into the iPad application and rebuild it for upload to the iTunes.
Is this the best way to transfer this data into the iPad application every three months?
Or is there a better way to do it?
