Users will then be able to download pictures for the location and persist both the pictures, and the association of the pictures with the pin.

##Summary

It demonstrates following concepts:

• NSURLSessions to interact with a public restful API
• A user interface that intuitively communicates network activity and download progress
• Stores media on the device file system
• Uses Core Data for local persistence of an object structure and plist persistence of an array of dictionaries
