Introduction to HTTP/REST
Learn how apps communicate with each other using HTTP and serve data over HTTP using REST services.
Get data from the internet
Connect your app to backend servers using the third-party library Retrofit and learn how to consume REST web services.
What's next?
Well done! This pathway was really long, and you learned several important topics, such as coroutines for concurrent programming and Retrofit, a library for working with REST services.
