In the past few months, we’ve released new or updated courses for subscribers on Swift 3, iOS 10, Server Side Swift, Metal, Concurrency, Collection Views, iOS Unit & UI Testing, SpriteKit, and more.
Today we’re happy to announce another course: Beginning Core Data is now updated for Swift 3 & iOS 10!
In this 7-part course, you’ll learn how to get started with Core Data, including how to model your data, store and fetch objects, filter objects, set up relationships, and more.
The course covers the new NSPersistentContainer class introduced in iOS 10, which sets up a Core Data stack for you, making Core Data much easier to get started with.
If you’ve ever wanted to get started with Core Data, or brush up on the basics, this is the course for you. Let’s take a look at what’s inside!
Video 1: Introduction. Gives an overview of what’s inside the course, how Core Data compares to other methods of saving data such as Realm or SQLite, and explains some high level concepts.
Video 2: Storing and Fetching. Learn how to create your first model object in the Core Data Model Editor, and perform a simple Fetch Request to retrieve objects you’ve stored in Core Data.
Video 3: Managed Object Subclasses. Learn how to use managed object subclasses to easily manipulate your data.
Video 4: Predicates and Sorting. Learn how to use sort descriptors and predicates to return only the data you want exactly the way you want it.
Video 5: Fetched Results Controllers. Learn how fetched results controllers can make setting up a table or collection view a lot easier!
Video 6: Relationships. Learn how to set up relationships between your managed objects, such as one to one, or one to many.
Video 7: Conclusion. Review what you learned in the course, and get a preview of what’s coming up next in the Intermediate Core Data Course (coming soon)!
