RK00 - Getting Started with ResearchKit

I guess as you have already searched for ResearchKit, you need no introduction to it !
But if you really don't know what it is here is an intro for you -

ResearchKit is an open source software framework that makes it easy to create apps for medical research or for other research projects.

Normally when we start to develop iOS app the first place we start to search for tutorial is Raywenderlich. No wonder there is already one on ResearchKit ! Believe me only other place to learn about ResearchKit is one WWDC video from apple and that is it :[.

Other learning resources we should follow is the ResearchKit blog. And as always there is StackOverflow to get around.

But in this tutorial series I would not use conventional tutorial.  Like intro to ResearchKit, for which you can always follow apple documentation. Rather I would make you go thought the app that is already on App Store and hence at the end you can make your own app ;]. For which I would use open Gluco Sucess app. But the fun part is I wont make you follow same app ! Instead we would make a app for COPD called StopCOPD which isnt OpenSource app.

So lets get started !
