Modern Concurrency in Swift (Second Edition): Introducing Async/Await, Task Groups & Actors

by Kodeco Team, Marin Todorov

Learn Modern Swift Concurrency! For years, writing powerful and safe concurrent apps with Swift could easily turn into a daunting task, full of race conditions and unexplained crashes hidden in a massive nesting of callback closures. In Swift 5.5, Apple introduced a new concurrency model featuring the async/await syntax, which lets you write asynchronous code that reads like synchronous code. But like any new feature, here be dragons! So how will you achieve the much-desired mastery of modern Swift concurrency? Modern Concurrency in Swift comes to the rescue, showcasing what you need to know about async/await, tasks, actors and everything in between! Who This Book Is For This book is for intermediate Swift developers who are familiar with writing asynchronous applications and who want to leverage the concurrency features Apple introduced in Swift 5.5 and its evolution throughout the years, to write safer and more predictable asynchronous apps. Topics Covered in Modern Concurrency in Swift One thing you can count After reading this book, you’ll be prepared to leverage Swift's new concurrency features in your app to write safe, performant and predictable asynchronous code.
