Everything has improved: syntax, architecture, performance, and support to recall and undo several layers of changes. Even the whole data container has been simplified. It's all built into iOS and macOS, and it's the recommended way for Apple developers to work with any nontrivial data. This course is meant for the enterprise developer who wants to get up to speed with the latest methods with Core Data. Instructor Jon Bott starts with a review of the basics, explaining the different architectural data models currently in use, the issues that can arise from these different models, and how the latest changes in Core Data 2016 simplify these models. He wraps up with hands-on migration to the new APIs and further tips on leveraging them in iOS 10 and macOS 10. 12 apps.

Topics include:
* Fetching data
* Working with objects, queues, and threads
* Understanding the architectural models
* Managing local and server-side data
* Understanding iOS 10 and macOS 10.12 updates to Core Data
* Migrating to the new core data
