Combining networking and Core Data, Virtual tourist is the 4th project towards Udacity's iOS Nanodegree https://www.udacity.com/
The Virtual Tourist app downloads and stores images from Flickr. The app allows users to drop pins on a map, as if they were stops on a tour. Users will then be able to download pictures for the location and persist both the pictures, and the association of the pictures with the pin.
The project requires to persist a complex model using Core Data, plist persistence of an array of dictionaries and persisting data locally on a device. Storing media and retrieving it later is an essential skill for any iOS developer.
I learned how to:
- Use NSURLSessions to interact with a public restful API
- Create a user interface that intuitively communicates network activity and download progress
- Store media on the device file system Use Core Data for local persistence of an object structure
