I am building an encyclopaedia-like application for iPhone, and I plan to use lots of formatted text and quite a few images in it. My problem is that I do not really know how to store this information in a well structured and easily accessible manner within the application to be accessible offline right after startup.
I am not really familiar with data storing techniques, I just know the basics stuff like WebView, NSUserDefaults, or simply store text as a string in an Array or Dictionary directly within the code. Obviously, none of these techniques provides exactly what I need; so I need some help.
Can a more experienced iOS developer direct me to a tutorial or give me any help on how to proceed? What technique to use?
You could use core data to store the locations of the images and retrieve them. Similarly with the formatted text.
