Concurrency by Tutorials (Third Edition): Multithreading in Swift With GCD & Operations

by Kodeco Team, Scott Grosch

Dive into Concurrency in iOS! Concurrency is the concept of multiple things, or pieces of work, running at the same time. With the addition of CPU cores in our devices, knowing how to properly utilize your customer's hardware to the maximum is absolutely a must. Unfortunately, proper concurrency in iOS apps is one of the lesser-known, lower-level topics, that every developer wants to (and should) understand properly, but is usually intimidated by. This is where Concurrency by Tutorials comes to the rescue! In this book, you’ll learn everything there is to know about how to write performant and concurrent code for your iOS apps. As an added bonus, even though this book focuses on iOS examples, these concepts are mostly transferable to your macOS, tvOS and watchOS apps - it's a win-win! Who This Book Is For This book is for intermediate iOS developers who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development but want to enrich their knowledge, learning more about how to efficiently perform tasks without affecting the performance of their app, and how to properly divide work to utilize hardware to the fullest extent. Topics Covered in Concurrency by Tutorials This book is sure to make you a pro in building concurrent and performant applications, and finally understanding how these lower-level APIs work to the fullest, pushing your app to the top!

I read this as a recap for interview prep, since one company asked me about OperationQueue and I included "gosh it's been a while" in my answer and then another company said "know all of them" when I asked which generation of concurrency I should be most fresh on. So here I am!

Anywho, it felt like a bunch of things were missing but overall I appreciated the brevity of the book and the general recap for my purposes. Thank you Kodeco!
