Over at Cocoa Dev Central, Scott Stevenson has written an easy to follow tutorial on building a Core Data application from scratch. Lots of good screenshots along the way and very easy to follow, even if you have minimal programming experience.

It’s very nice, if you do Cocoa programming of course.

Very well written, I was too lazy to follow along with XCode, but it all made perfect sense. The only thing I find odd is that at the end they said to compile the application. Does the CoreData stuff need to be compiled? Cause they never did any code, and except for the CoreData stuff they just played with Bindings in Interface Builder, which requires no compilation (gotta love NIBs).
Yes, as there is no written code, there is nothing to compile – but you have to build the application. Because without, there would be no application bundle to double click.
could I use Core Data as a means to manage my data in a web app?

It works with firefox, opera and safari as far as I’ve tested.
