So if someone is making a product of their own which they will be maintaining for a long time. Is it a good idea to write ur own wrapper library on top of NSURLConnection etc Or use one of these existing libraries ?

@AmoghTalpallikar Depends... is there a 3rd party library that you like? Will it save you time compared to rolling your own? Can you live with the terms of the license? It's the same decision you'd make for any other library.

hmm. yeah make sense. But is it still important for one to understand how NSURLConnection and related classes work ? Frankly speaking, it has been one year since I have been doing iOS dev. All I have been using is, always one of these libraries. I have never used NSURLConnection directly. I came from a JavaScript/AJAX background. Where I am used to creating an XMLHTTPRequest Object and give it a callback and done. I found working with these libraries, specially block based ones quite similar. So I was wondering, if I will ever need to understand NSURLConnection at all.
