Accessing an API using CoreData's NSIncrementalStore

Note: the original location of this article is on my blog, however, it is posted here too for better readability.

In this article, we will see how to use Core Data for accessing your API. We will use the Bandcamp API as our running example. I've only been experimenting with this code for a few days, so there might be mistakes in there.

Observables

You don't really need a framework or fancy cutting-edge JavaScript features to do two-way data binding. Let's start basic - first and foremost, you need a way to tell when data changes. Traditionally, this is done via an Observer pattern, but a full-blown implementation of that is a little clunky for nice, lightweight JavaScript. So, if native getters/setters are out, the only mechanism we have are accessors:

var n = 5;
function getN() { return n; }
function setN(newN) { n = newN; }

console.log(getN()); // 5

setN(10);

Pull Request Process

Ensure any install or build dependencies are removed before the end of the layer when doing a

	namespace YourProjectName.Here.NHibernateMaps.Conventions
	{
	using System;
	using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
	using System.Linq;

	using DataAnnotationsExtensions;

	using FluentNHibernate.Conventions.Instances;

	These instructions should be deprecated at this point.

	Start following https://github.com/TooTallNate/node/tree/pi for a more straightforward node installation on the pi.

	These instructions work for the Raspberry Pi running Raspbian (hard float), and include a working NPM:

	1. Install Raspbian - http://www.raspbian.org/PiscesImages

	group :production do
	gem 'unicorn'

	# Enable gzip compression on heroku, but don't compress images.
	gem 'heroku-deflater'

	# Heroku injects it if it's not in there already
	gem 'rails_12factor'
	end

	# config/routes.rb
	resources :documents do
	scope module: 'documents' do
	resources :versions do
	post :restore, on: :member
	end

	resource :lock
	end
	end

	"Or even New Order’s “Blue Monday,” a song that owes much to Kilburn and Williams’ development—a pulsing, breathing pop classic fashioned primarily from cold, artificial parts: a vocoder, an Oberheim DMX drum machine, a Moog Source synthesizer, and a homemade Powertran sequencer"

	Everyone talks about Everything's Gone Green being a sequencer number but it wasn't really?
	No, with Everything's Gone Green, you had a Moog Source doing a 1/16th pulse and the Quadra doing the "da-dah, da-da-dah". Then what you'd do is take the 'CV' out of the Quadra and take that into the Moog so that the Moog is playing a different rhythm but following the pitch of the other thing. That's what we used for Temptation as well.

	So the track that eventually became Video 586 was your turning point into actually using a sequencer?
