Working with data is very important but, when teaching beginners, I like to do it in steps so that this process is a bit easier. In this chapter, we are going to work with data that is stored on the device. Later in this book, we will work with data that we get from a feed. Feed data means it is coming from a website URL, and using data from a feed means you can update the data without having to update the app.
We will cover the following in this chapter:
- What is a model?
- What is a plist?
- How do we create a plist?
- Working with the manager class
In the last chapter, we got the Explore listing up, but we have no data. We need to create a model object that will represent the information that our cell can use to display data.
