newbie question

I am creating an app to manage my kids games. Should I use viewDidLoad to pull in the data from parse and manage the data there? I just started watching core data and was wondering if this is something that would be used WITH parse.com or would it only be used independent of it? Should I pull down the game information from parse and store it in coredata then write any updates back to parse from coredata or am I thinking about this all wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I would use one or the other. Using Parse is easier than using core data in my opinion. Makes it easy to have user accounts/profiles etc.

What is the best way to have my data from parse persist on the app when the user is offline? It seems that they have caching limitations...

its saved to the database. When they log back in you just pull from the database again and get their data.
