FMDB is a wrapper on top of SQLite's C API with an API more in Objective-C style. Which API style is "easier" is more up to you, it would depend greatly on your programming background and personal preference.
It should also be noted that the author of sqlite (D. Richard Hipp) never intended the sqlite api to be used directly by programmers. The idea was to create a low level API that higher level wrappers would use inside their applications (and I think that's largely why we see sqlite in just about everything these days!).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
