MVC – The King of Design Patterns

mvcking
Model View Controller (MVC) is one of the building blocks of Cocoa and is undoubtedly the most-used design pattern of all. It classifies objects according to their general role in your application and encourages clean separation of code based on role.
The three roles are:
  • Model: The object that holds your application data and defines how to manipulate it. For example, in your application the Model is your Album class.
  • View: The objects that are in charge of the visual representation of the Model and the controls the user can interact with; basically, all the UIViews and their subclasses. In your application the View is represented by your AlbumView class.
  • Controller: The controller is the mediator that coordinates all the work. It accesses the data from the model and displays it with the views, listens to events and manipulates the data as necessary. Can you guess which class is your controller? That’s right: ViewController.

Understanding of Size Classes?

Size Classes are an abstraction of how a device should be categorized depending on its screen dimensions. Apple defined two categorizations for both vertical and horizontal sizes called “Regular” and “Compact”. The former specifies a big space, while the latter specifies a small” space. How big or small exactly? Here, “big” and “small” are not intended to be measured in inches. iOS Size Classes Apple has introduced many devices like iPhone, iPad with different screen sizes and resolution. Also after iOS 8 apple has supported multitasking in iPad. So for the developers to develop a common or single UI for all the devices apple has introduced the concept of an adaptive layout by combining auto layout and size classes. What is adaptive layout: The adaptive layout is a method of building the apps based on the size and characteristics of the container instead of a targeting a particular device. We can create a single layout to work on all...

The differences between Core Data and a Database

Database Core Data Primary function is storing and fetching data Primary function is graph management (although reading and writing to disk is an important supporting feature) Operates on data stored on disk (or minimally and incrementally loaded) Operates on objects stored in memory (although they can be lazily loaded from disk) Stores "dumb" data Works with fully-fledged objects that self-manage a lot of their behavior and can be subclassed and customized for further behaviors Can be transactional, thread-safe, multi-user Non-transactional, single threaded, single user (unless you create an entire abstraction around Core Data which provides these things) Can drop tables and edit data without loading into memory Only operates in memory Perpetually saved to disk (and often crash resilient) Requires a save process Can be slow to create millions of new rows Can create millions of new objects in-memory very quickly (although saving these objects will be slow) Offer...
