Core Data Immersive

Core Data is one of the most powerful frameworks in iOS. We take you step by step through the basics of modeling and persisting complex data.

Core Data is a necessary component for any modern application in Apple's app store. The library allows us to efficiently manage data storage locally on the device. This course will guide you through creating your own Core Data stack and managing data models and relationships. Consistent with the Bitfountain's standards, we will take you step by step through the tricky world of Core Data.

Most courses skip over the boilerplate code Apple sets up. We begin with an examination and rewrite of the Core Data Stack. From there we will examine the crucial components to working with Core Data. Along the way we'll pick up a multitude of Swift Language features necessary for proper error handling and a bunch of cool Apple classes. Master Core Data with us today!

This course doesn't just teach you about Core Data, it shows you how it is used in building production apps.

Course Goals:

  • Build a custom Core Data stack.
  • Review and practice advanced Swift Language Features.
  • Learn best practices for Error Handling.
  • Optimize a project with NSFetchedResultsController.
  • Build complex data structures with relationships.

Requirements:

  • A basic understanding of Swift Fundamentals is necessary to complete this course.
