You can learn how to develop with Apple’s Core Data for OS X , iPhone and iPad in a new, 11-hour video training course presented by Marcus Zarra and Steve Scott. The course is made up of 28 chapters three of which can be viewed in full on the course page of the iDeveloper TV web site (http://ideveloper.tv).
Whether you are targeting Mac OS X or the iPhone/iPad, it is likely your application is going to need to access and persist data. Core Data helps you avoid dealing with complex SQL API’s or having to handle XML by presenting you with an elegant object oriented way to access your data, says Zarra.
He’s the owner of Zarra Studios and the creator of seSales and iWeb Buddy as well as being a co-author of “Cocoa Is My Girlfriend” a blog covering all aspects of Cocoa development. He’s been using Core Data since its original release in OS X 10.4 Tiger and has released numerous applications and papers covering all of the topics of Core Data.
