Help and advice (beginner)

[Eluryh]

Hi all!

I've searched in this forum an around internet but there're too many things and i'm confused about how starting in an app I've on my mind..

First of all, clarify I'm reading a book about iphone programming so I hope I'll understand any help from you.

For now, I just would like to know how this should be:



Ignoring the TabBar, etc. I only focus on the table which contains the matches.
I would like to do something like this, and i don't know how to manage de these "supposed" external data, such as the name of the teams, team crests, the numeric value of goals, etc.
For example, could I create a database "matches" and every INSERT had those fields? (name of the team A, team B, team crest A, etc...., and a value to grep them into the same day match).
I would like to know how it's stored in a external server and retrieved by an iPhone's query. (Sorry about my english).
Is the data of the database parsed? (XML, JSON, etc.)

I would appreciate any advice/help because I'm lost right now and I couldn't find the way to start.

I've read that maybe can be a solution create a PHP or Python page that queries the database for all of the posts for a given user and returns them in a JSON or XML encoded array... any suggestions? thx!
