Magical Record and NSFetchedResultsController: Core Data made easy

I was pretty happy after building my first iOS app that made extensive use of the Core Data framework. However, in the back of my mind I was sure there was a better way than the ton of code it required. Thankfully there is. Magical Record makes it so simple that it barely feels like Core Data at all. In this tutorial series I will build from scratch a basic note taking app, that saves everything in Core Data. I’ll start right at the beginning and explain how to build a simple tableViewController that uses a NSFetchedResultsController. Next I’ll show you how to install Magical Record, create a database with a few test values and get them to appear in a tableView . Finally, I’ll add all the extra bits of functionality that allow users to update or create new records.

I’ll publish as I go along, so check back later for the first part of the series.
