The iOS Interview Guide 2.0 | Networking Chapter Draft

First chapter draft is done. Looking for feedback!

I just finished the first draft of the networking chapter in my upcoming 2nd edition of The iOS Interview Guide.

This chapter covers all things service layer and networking on iOS that you’d need to know to be effective with it and showcase your knowledge of the topic on your interviews.

The topics in this chapter range from what HTTP, REST, and GraphQL are to URLSession, serialization, data mapping, and BFFs. Basically, all the pragmatic stuff you need to know to be effective with making network requests on iOS. Plus some extra, more architectural and backend topics that aren't necessarily needed for iOS developers but will nevertheless make you a better mobile engineer.

If you would like to participate in review of this early draft, please let me know in the comments or email me. I’ll send the chapter draft over to you.

P.S. this chapter doesn’t cover any async work topics beyond mentioning the main thread concerns with networking. The async work topic will be fully covered in another upcoming chapter on all things async.
