Introduction

This project aims to simplify the way Objective-C communicates with an SQLite database. It also provides a developer greater flexibility and portability than he/she might otherwise have if he/she was having to hard code everything from scratch. A lot of attention has been given to make each class as intuitive as possible and easy to use.

Inspiration for this project came from the simple fact that other projects just seemed to fall short when it came to functionality or were just too complex to understand. Also, many other projects suffer from a lack of understanding the advantages and disadvantages of certain design patterns such as the Data Mapper and Active Record design patterns.

Although this project is still in development, it already has a lot of functionality and is quite stable. And, with frequent updates, this project is expected to soon become the "de facto" standard for iPhone/iOS development.
