Introducing Realm: A Modern, Local Database Framework for Apps (/dev/world/2015)
Presenter: Tim Oliver
When it comes to developing apps on iOS, saving data locally to the device is deceptively trickier than it should be. Core Data has a very steep learning curve, and SQLite requires a lot of boilerplate code to become usable. Realm is a new database framework supporting both Objective-C and Swift, designed to serve as a much easier alternative to Core Data and SQLite. This talk serves as introduction to using Realm - topics include defining object schema, persisting objects to disc, and concurrent access.
