In this chapter, you will lay the foundation of an application that reads the RSS feed from the Big Nerd Ranch Forums (Figure 25.1). Forum posts will be listed in a table view, and selecting a post from the table will display it from the site. Figure 25.1 shows the Nerdfeed application at the end of this chapter.

We will divide the work into two parts. The first is connecting to and collecting data from a web service and using that data to create model objects. The second part is using the UIWebView class to display web content. Figure 25.2 shows an object diagram for Nerdfeed.
