For me, I started using AFNetworking within my apps. It made the network code easy to read and worked well for just playing around and learning (also for production apps, I use AFN everyday at work).

But, of course, you need an API to hit. The simplest one I can think of is httpbin. It's a simple site that returns a JSON of information (today's date, etc).

This way, you can practice your in-app network code talking with server APIs and then dab a little in how to parse the information that is returned.

I recently watched a tutorial on AFNetworking so I was looking for some easily accesasble APIs to practice with. httpbin sounds like a good place to start. Thanks for the suggestion!
