The High Level View

On Switching Away from Core Data

Tim Roadley's Ten Mistakes People Make with Core Data


From Apple

Apple's Core Data Programming Guide  

Apple's Technical Q&A 1809 on Write-Ahead Lookup Journaling, added in OS X 10.9 and iOS 7, which causes Core Data persistent store files to be three files instead of one, and how to work around it or revert to the old behavior.

Transcript of WWDC 2014 Session 225, What’s New in Core Data  Reading a searchable transcript on a technical topic is so much more efficient than watching a video!  Even if someone gives you a time marker in the video.  However, you might want to watch the video too.  It looks like there was only this one Core Data Session this year.


Open-Source Tools and Libraries

Matthew Morey’s 
Top 10 List of Core Data Tools and Libraries.  Number 2 in the list, mogenerator, contains some instructions for using mogenerator.

Wolf Rentzsch’ 
mogenerator, a tool for generting Core Data model classes.  Version 1.27, the current built binary download, does not support Swift, but supposedly the current trunk does and presumably 1.28 should.

John Blanco’s blog post on using mogenerator

BSManagedDocument, an open-source replacement for NSPersistentDocument on OS X.

GCUndoManager,  an open-source replacement for NSUndoManager on OS X.


Concurrency (Multiple Managed Object Contexts in Multiple Threads)

Aaron Douglas’
Advanced Core Data presentation at 360|iDev  in Denver, Summer 2014.  There is a video. and demo Xcode project written in Swift.  The 3-level managed object context hierarchy idea I used in my YaBT Core Data demo project was taken from this talk, except I named the contexts differently and, I think, more consistently.
