Advanced Networking with URLSession

00:01Hello hello! Welcome to the Advanced Networking with URLSession course. I’m Felipe and I’ll be your instructor as we take a look at more advanced functionality available for you in the world of networking.

00:13If you’re joining from the Beginning Networking with URLSession course, welcome back!

00:19This course picks up right where that one left off and will expand on those concepts, so if you haven’t looked at that course I suggest you take some time to complete it first, or skim through its contents if you feel comfortable enough jumping to the Advanced course.

00:35My apps and projects are now much, much cooler thanks to new features I’ve added that leverage URLSession and being able to connect it with the internet.

00:47There are some things, however, that I’m still struggling with. Some requests are not going through, there’s no real-time factor to my networking operations for back and forth communication. I also don’t know how to upload data to a server or communicate with an authenticated resource.

01:05This is precisely what this course will covers, and by the end I’ll be able to do all of those things in my apps, and so will you!

01:14Part 1 of the course will cover uploading data, performing background tasks and downloads, and WebSockets.

01:22Part 2 will cover authentication, App Transport Security and cookies. Unfortunately not cookies that we get to eat :P

01:32Let’s get this show started and dive even deeper into the world of networking and URLSession.
