Hi all,

I forgot to mention that I'll be in Sweden next Thursday. I'll be back
early next week and I'll be demonstrating a "real world" example app.

Cheers!

Btw the app will use a web service to retrieve currency data from
Landsbankinn and display it in a table. It should also use Core Data
(layer on top of SQLite) to store previous records and show difference
since last update.

If I have more time I might try to plot the change history.

I've already cooked up half of it, I just need to hook it up to Core
Data.

--- Not sure if this XML feed would be easier:

http://www.sedlabanki.is/?PageID=289

Knowing how to parse and manage an XML file could be useful because
then we could grab RSS or any other XML data to do something similar.

Well, maybe I should've put web service in quotes. Because it actually
just fetches an XML file from Landsbankinn. The reason I choose their
feed over the one at Seðlabankinn was because it has a cute flag icon
with each currency. You can view the XML here:
