Really disappointed with this book. I'm writing a few apps that require SQLite databases and was hoping this book would cover SQLite in a decent amount of detail. Chapter 2 covers how to query a database, everything else (including editing the database, which turns out to be similar but also nontrivial) I had to learn myself. This book just wasn't worth the money. It should be called "Using Core Data" because that seems to be where the focus is. Unfortunately there just aren't many resources for people just interested in using SQLite.

Also, it's pretty outdated if you're using Xcode 4.3. You'll find that you have to edit an awful lot of the code. I'm glad I already have a rudimentary understanding of Xcode and was able to figure out what to change. It also doesn't cover Storyboarding or Master-Detail apps accurately, which is unfortunate. ( )
