Working with data is very important, but when working with beginners, I like to do this 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 the book, we will work with data that we get from a feed. Feed data means it is coming from a website URL. 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 to create a plist?
- Working with a manager class
In the last chapter, we got the Explore listing up, but we have no data. We need to create a model that we can use to store information that our cell can use to display data.
