Hello, so I am fairly new to iOS development and I am currently trying to make a word of the day app that displays a word and it's definition. I am confused on how I should go about doing this. Would I need to use a backend source like Parse? Or can I just use a loop? If someone could just brief me on how to do this, I would be so grateful. Thanks so much.
Word of the Day App
Create a class that "vends" a word and definition of the day. To start, you can create and add a property list (or text file) to your project containing pairs of words and their associated definition. This vendor class can read the file when it is initialized and, using NSUserDefaults, can track the last date it vended a word and the index of the word that was vended. Have your app fetch its word from this class...
If at some later date you'd like to back the app off onto parse, or cloud kit, just re-implement the vendor class to pull from these sources instead.
Sorry I might sound completely nooby here, but could you possibly post an example of this? I was trying to do this yesterday but I am still stuck on what you are trying to say. Thanks a lot.
