I want to develop an iPhone app that read data from the internet but I have no idea about how to put the data over the internet (simple web , server or a specific things for iphone) and how to fetch the data inside the app …
I describe myself as Intermediate level in Database
Note: All I need from where start learning how to develop something like this
Thank you

The iPhone supports all the normal web technologies for communication. HTTP, SOAP, REST etc are all doable. For pretty much everything network related, I recommend ASIHTTPRequest.
It is powerful, well documented and easy to learn. You can download files, complete pages and even submit data with FORM protocols etc.
If you want to save data to the disk, the iPhone supports SQLite and has it’s own technology called Core Data.
Parsing data is dead easy too. For JSON, use YAJL. For XML parsing or HTML scraping, use XPathQuery of TFHpple (TFHpple is a wrapper over XpathQuery that makes it a little easier to get running with).
If you have any other questions, just comment 🙂
