This month we'll talk about two new ways to better connect our apps with the world through APIs.

Build Better iOS Apps withGraphQL

GraphQLis a query language for APIs. It was created by Facebook to power its mobile apps and Michael Paris of scaphold.iowill show us how we too can start usingGraphQLto build type-safe, efficient iOS applications. TheGraphQLtype-system fits in seamlessly with Xcode and Swift so get ready to learn about some awesome new developer tools at your disposal.

High-Performance APIs with gRPC

gRPC combines Protocol Buffers, HTTP/2, and code generation to give developers a new way to write high-performance, reliable APIs. Google's Muxi Yan will describe gRPC and then we'll see how we will soon be able to use gRPC in Swift apps.
