Prerequisite

This book assumes that you have a basic understanding of the iPhone SDK and you also know the basics of iPhone SDK programming.

To better understand the concept of Core Data, you should:

Have a good understanding of the Objective-C protocol and the delegation pattern
Be familiar with data source patterns, such as UITableView and UITableViewDataSource, for the purpose of displaying information

Even if you're not aware of these two concepts, Chapter 3, Understanding Objective-C Protocol and Table View and Chapter 4, Designing a Data Model and Building Data Objects for Customers of the book are focused to get you acquainted with them. That is why the two chapters are self-contained and each chapter presents an individual application.
