The point is, there’s alot of data behind REST APIs and we need to know how to connect our iOS apps to get that data. In this tutorial, we’re going to write Swift code to perform a GET and a POST request.

This video uses Swift 2.0 and the UIImagePickerController to access the camera. We’re also just looking at taking pictures in this tutorial. We will look at selecting photos from the photo library in another video. Our app will have a button, and image view. When the user presses the button, we’ll launch a controller to take a picture. If the user takes a picture, we’ll display it in the image view.
