SQLite is considered a de facto industry standard for lightweight, embedded SQL database programming, and it's a core storage technology in iOS. SQLite and the iOS SDK make a great pair for creating lightweight, data-driven applications. Using these tools, Bill Weinman shows how to build a solid RSS reader that supports all current iOS form factors, including split view on the iPhone 6+. He also demonstrates how to set up data in a clear, intuitive table view; code the view controllers; create a preferences interface for users to adjust app settings; and build an app with features like pull-to-refresh and a share sheet, which allows users to add URLs to their RSS feed reading list.

Topics include:

* Building a testbed

* Creating an Objective-C interface for SQLite

* Creating a CRUD interface

* Designing the database schema

* Creating the main table view

* Creating the items table view

* Adding new feeds

* Parsing feeds with NSXML Parser

* Viewing webpages

* Preparing icons and toolbar images
