Series synopsis:
Ever felt like you couldn't figure out what app to build? Well, this series of videos is just for you! In these lessons I am going to use a bunch of public APIs to build a bunch of small apps. My goal throughout this series is to explain what an API is, how to communicate with and retrieve data from an API, the different types of authentication, different methods of making network requests, different methods of parsing data, and how to utilize not just GET but also POST requests.
