Announcing Our New Course: Networking with URLSession!

Almost every app makes network requests, requiring a large number of network protocols and proxies to provide a seamless experience for your app's users. This important but potentially complicated task becomes easy thanks to Apple's networking API, URLSession!

Learn how to integrate URLSession into your app and leverage its simple but powerful API in our new Networking with URLSession course!

Keep reading to hear more about it from course instructor Brian Moakley:

Why should I take your Networking with URLSession course?

"URLSession gives you both flexibility and adaptability in making network requests without having to resort to external code.

In my course, you’ll learn how to use URLSession for all your networking needs while providing for a responsive user interface. You'll also gain an overview of concurrency through leveraging some easy to use URLSessions features!"

How can this course help with a common pain point in iOS development?

"Working with networks can be incredibly complex and it requires a lot of expertise.

URLSession makes it a breeze to incorporate networking into your app without having to be a network expert.

You essentially get to use Apple’s expertise built into URLSession, so your requests become pain-free!

Can you please share a cool URLSession tip with us?

"Making a network request with URLSession only requires a few lines of code and can be made without spending a lot of time in configuring the request.

By using the shared URLSession, a remote resource such as JSON can be downloaded:

URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in

 guard let data = data, let json = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) else {

 return

  }

 print(json)

}.resume()

The code fetches the JSON, stores the data in memory and then creates a string from the fetched data. It's that simple."

Is there anything else we should know about your Networking with URLSession course?

"This course was designed using projects built in SwiftUI and also shows you how to leverage the Combine framework to make declarative network requests!"
