Superior Swift, fifth version – Ole Begemann

Written by admin


We launched the fifth version of our e book Superior Swift a number of days in the past. You should buy the e-book on the objc.io web site. The hardcover print version is printed and offered by Amazon (amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de).

Highlights of the brand new version:

  • Absolutely up to date for Swift 5.6
  • A brand new Concurrency chapter masking async/await, structured concurrency, and actors
  • New content material on property wrappers, outcome builders, protocols, and generics
  • The print version is now a hardcover (for a similar worth)
  • Free replace for house owners of the e-book

A rising e book for a rising language

Updating the e book all the time seems to be extra work than I count on. Swift has grown considerably since our final launch (for Swift 5.0), and the scale of the e book displays this. The fifth version is 76 % longer than the primary version from 2016. This time, we barely stayed underneath 1 million characters:

Many because of our editor, Natalye, for studying all this and bettering our Dutch/German dialect of English.

Hardcover

For the primary time, the print version is available in hardcover (for a similar worth). Having the ability to provide this makes me very pleased. The hardcover e book seems significantly better and is extra more likely to keep open when laid flat on a desk.

We additionally elevated the web page dimension from 15×23 cm (6×9 in) to 18×25 cm (7×10 in) to maintain the web page depend manageable (Amazon’s print on demand service limits hardcover books to 550 pages).

I hope you get pleasure from the brand new version. In case you resolve to purchase the e book or in case you purchased it up to now, thanks very a lot! And in case you’re keen to jot down a overview on Amazon, we’d recognize it.
