    <p><strong>Edited 07/08/13: Apple has an excellent set of WWDC videos that really helped me understand the various date and time classes in Objective-C, and how to correctly perform time calculations/manipulations with them.</strong></p> <p><strong>"Solutions to Common Date and Time Challenges" (<a href="http://devstreaming.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/227xax5xif2s7s531dsmfs1afo2/227/227-HD.mov?dl=1" rel="nofollow">HD video</a>, <a href="http://devstreaming.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/227xax5xif2s7s531dsmfs1afo2/227/227-SD.mov?dl=1" rel="nofollow">SD video</a>, <a href="http://devstreaming.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/227xax5xif2s7s531dsmfs1afo2/227/227.pdf?dl=1" rel="nofollow">slides (PDF)</a>) (WWDC 2013)</strong><br> <strong>"Performing Calendar Calculations" (<a href="https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2011/includes/performing-calendar-calculations.html#performing-calendar-calculations" rel="nofollow">SD video</a>, <a href="https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/wwdc_2011/adc_on_itunes__wwdc11_sessions__pdf/117performing_calendar_calculations.pdf" rel="nofollow">slides (PDF)</a>) (WWDC 2011)</strong></p> <p><strong>Note: links require a free Apple Developer membership.</strong></p> <p>I'm writing an app for a friend's podcast. She broadcasts her show live every Sunday at 5PM, and I would like to write some code in my app to optionally schedule a local notification for that time, so that the user is reminded of when the next live show is. How would I go about getting an NSDate object that represents "the next Sunday, at 5 PM Pacific time." (obviously this would have to be converted into whatever timezone the user is using)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
