Core Data Rocks More Harder Every Day
The more I use Core Data, the happier I am with it. I think it's an amazingly clean persistence framework for desktop applications. I think when us old-timers stop seeing it as “EOF-lite” and start thinking of it as an absolutely fundamental part of Cocoa, some astonishingly powerful apps are going to come from it.
A tip from WWDC: option-command-clicking on a model's graph paper will put up a temporary, scaled, bezel-style view of the entire model. Useful for seeing connections that have scrolled off-screen.

I didn't know about that one. Pretty cool.

And in the bezel view, if you click on an entity, the entity is selected in the model, and the model is scrolled until it is visible.

Very cool, thanks! It just went from interesting and semi-useful to actually useful.
