This post is an expansion upon the post Marcus wrote on March 26, 2009; Core Data: Subclassing NSManagedObject in which he reviewed some best practices on subclassing the NSManagedObject. Based on feedback from that post, here are some additional best practices when working with NSManagedObject subclasses.

With less than week until nominations for the MDN Community Award 2009 close it’s a close race with so far 20 different people nominated for the award. I have listed the nominations so far (in alphabetical order), included a link to their site/blog and just one nomination reason/comment I have received for each.

Its Christmas and a time for goodwill to all men. So as a Christmas gift to the Mac Developer community for the next 24 hours you can get $100 off the normal price for the full NSConference 2009 video set. That means you just pay $49.99 (plus any applicable taxes).
See the full post for details on how to get $100 off your purchase.

After a moment of madness during the recording of The MDN Show episode 15 I am really pleased to introduce The Mac Developer Network Community Award for 2009.

I am looking to honour and recognize someone who has positively input to and/or influenced the Mac developer community during 2009. The award will be decided by the Mac developer community and it’s very simple for you to take part and influence the final result.

In this Christmas special of the MDN Show, Scotty and John are joined by; Mr Kevin Hoctor, Martin Pilkington, the one and only Danny Greg and security guru himself Mr Graham Lee. The guys chat through the highs and lows of 2009 and gaze into their looking glass as they offer their predictions for 2010.
