Pluralsight HTTP Networking in iOS
We live in a connected world, and few iOS apps stand on their own without some kind of server process to connect to. The majority of those servers provide an HTTP interface. In this course, you will learn how to use Apple's Foundation APIs to connect to those services. You will also learn about several handy debugging tools and techniques, as well as practical design patterns to improve your iOS apps.
