I’m trying to work through the URLSessions coursework, but I’ve found it rather difficult to follow along as there isn’t much in the way of explaining how to insert the data into the terminal. I’m rather new to using terminal, so most of the queries I’ve used are executed simply with hitting “enter”. However, for creating the db.json file and copy-pasting the example code, this doesn’t work, which leaves me stuck while the video continues on.
I use vi but pico might be easier. Or you can use the Mac text edit app, but make sure it’s set tto plain text, not rich text: you should not see any formatting tool bar or ruler.
The terminal app uses Unix commands. Google unix tutorial to find resources.
Also, the video editors speed up the typing in the demos — almost no one will be able to keep up, so just pause the video when necessary.
