I'm actually creating my first personal project with swift which is an app that will present every prospect in the next NFL draft with info about them. I want to do kind of a database for the users to be able to browse around every player.
What I don't know how to do yet is how should I do to store the data. I thought about realm or coreData but I want to find a solution that will allow me to sync the data from a server to update the info in real-time for the users. There is no user data to update or save. I find the MongoDB Realm platform but I don't find a lot of resources about it. If anyone has any idea for how I should do, already thank you!
Have a nice day,
Matteo!
I've made good experiences with Firestore. Its free (up to a certain usage) and has quite some good and clear documentation.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-data/listen
I agree with the other answer. Firebase is a fantastic realtime database to use for this specific idea. It's extremely easy to get started and the documentation is straight forward. I just started using it a couple weeks ago after switching over from AWS.

are there any good references to start looking into building a simple but efficient tracking/event tool? Super simple version of a tool like Google Analytics. I am assuming this consist of two separate applications. One for the front-end which gets embedded into the client's website, and a back-end API to handle the events, queue, etc.
Preferred tools for the back-end for me is Rails.
I appreciate the help.
You'd be reinventing the wheel, but you'll need a javascript library to track the user and a rails API. Pretty much what you seem to know you need.
Here's the documentation on building a rails API: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/api_app.html
Refer to the top answer here for the javascript module: User Activity Tracking or Logging with javascript

I am trying to develop an iOS app (Swift) that requires the use of database. The app will have three different users login and courses. I have 5 database tables that i will have in my app but I am not sure which database platform to use. (I have done research and some people recommend Core data and others say Realm)Thank you for your suggestions.
Depend upon your requirement you need to choose Realm, Sqlite and CoreData database.
For Reference check this link
https://rollout.io/blog/ios-databases-sqllite-core-data-realm/
Since you are just getting started, I would suggest you to try out CoreData and see if it works for your use case. It is object oriented, works well across all Apple platforms and is well integrated with Xcode. Although, please note that this only works for local data. However, if you need (or wish) to store the data on remote server then Firebase would be the way to go. Also this might be preferable if you later wish to do analytics based on the data stored.
Both of these work pretty well and aren't exactly comparable to each other coz they have different purpose. You just need to figure out what's your long term use case and plan it out. For more details check this: https://www.quora.com/How-does-Firebase-compare-to-Core-Data
You can use Firebase if you do not want to setup your own database. You can then assign 'roles' to the users logging in. Check out Firebase authentication documentation.
If you're doing it locally, Core Data is fine.
But if you're doing it remotely (over the Internet, in the cloud), then Firebase is OK.

I have a client that recently decided to add in-site surveys as part of an effort to better understand their user base. They are requesting an export of the survey data, which using Axlsx hasn't been to hard.
However, they've also requested a US Map Graph that displays which users live in which states - kind of like this one. We store the GeoIP of each user's City/State/ZIP, etc. so the data is there, but I'm not sure how I'd go about generating such a graph as part of the Excel output.
Any ideas about this being feasible to spit out in an Excel export? I haven't been able to find much information about creating them in Rails.
EDIT I just want to point out that the actual Excel export works great. What I'm struggling with is getting a graph to come out in a similar format as the above link. I'm already using the axlsx gem to export the data into Excel/creating various graphs. I haven't been able to figure out how to create a US State's graph with it though
You might want to take a look to the gem axlsx,
which is a spreadsheet generator for Ruby. They have a fair amount of examples.
Hope it helps.

I'm still relatively new to iOS development and also an absolute stranger to any kind of testing that is not compile, run, and check whatever comes to your mind.
This is obviously a weakness on any developer's profile and I'm decided to get ride of it now that interesting, real projects are coming my way.
In my quest to look for the best approach to go from 0 to 100 as soon (and well) as possible I'm coming to the specialized community to get your feedback.
At the same time I'm asking for your tips I'm also getting into Amazon to look for well-reviewed books on the subject and Google to get the rest. I'm just coming here to gather the feedback of those willing to spare a minute or to so I can probably hit jackpot with a great advise and better plan my learning strategy.
Thats right. For my job testing and test driven development is indispensable.
I often use Java and JUnit, but for Objective-C and XCode I think this screencast is a very good start: http://qualitycoding.org/objective-c-tdd/
Since I watch this screencast I use OCHamcrest and OCMockito (both explaind in this screencast) as well as SenTestingKitAsync for testing asynchronous functions.
I think the Clean Code book is a must have for every developer. There is a chapter about testing.

I know this is not a technical question but I don't know where to ask elsewhere.
I use the very cool toolkit called trigger.io to develop apps for both android and ios. Now I would like to use something like a database to display data in my app.
Firstly I found a realtime backend called firebase: http://www.firebase.com/
Nice but it takes a while until one gets access to it since it is still in beta.
Then I found a cloud service called Kinvey: http://www.kinvey.com/ Also interesting, but it is free as long as only 200 users download the app.
So do you know any alternatives to store data and use it for my app?
That would be very helpful,
thanks enne
Sure. Parse is an easy option. Basic plan to get start is $0 a month.
Also, there is nothing stopping you from bundling (or download and saving and caching) a json file for use in your trigger.io app.
