HTTP by the Numbers!

Christopher Neugebauer

Are you writing an app that needs to do things over a network? Fetching data from an API? Grabbing profile pictures? Syncing stuff? HTTP is the ubiquitous protocol that runs the web, and basically every web­-based API that’s out there… but how well do we know how it works? What about on mobiles? This talk looks at HTTP performance on mobile devices, and tries to benchmark things. With code.
