There’s been a couple articles posted lately both promising to be first in a series that talk about simplifying Core Data access, always worth reading for some new ideas:
1) Super Happy Easy Fetching in Core Data
This post is the first in a short series of topics describing how to I’ve made using Core Data a little simpler without giving up the power features you still need. The full project from which this series is derived is available on github…
2) Simplifying Core Data Part I
About half a year ago I asked the stackoverflow.com community about an idea to make Core Data more generic. I was looking for validation of my idea, which attempts to generalize the handling of Core Data among different threads. I received a few responses, but didn’t feel anyone fully digested what I was trying to do. Since that post, I’ve reworked my prototype into a framework, tested it, and made it easier to work with. I’m using the framework in two iPhone projects (and soon a third), and it has greatly simplified my life when it comes to Core Data…
“Simplified”, “Core” and “Data” certainly are three words that go well together, particularly in that order, don’t you think?
