Command Line Tool Core Data Tutorial

I'm playing with Xcode and Objective-C/Cocoa again. This time I want to start with the bare minimum. I would like to setup Core Data in something as simple as a Command Line Tool (if it's even possible.) I need some practice saving and retrieving data without the all the View Controllers and AppDelegate stuff. Any ideas or maybe I'm going about this all wrong?

Your task will be the same as for any other project, except that the Command Line Tool template probably doesn't contain a Core Data option. No matter, you're doing this to learn, so setting up Core Data yourself won't hurt a bit.

Just create a new command line tool project and add a new Core Data model to the project. Next, you'll add the code that gets the model, creates a persistent store coordinator, uses those to create a managed object context. Then you can add objects, fetch objects, whatever you like.
