We launched the fifth version of our ebook Superior Swift a couple of days in the past. You should buy the book on the objc.io website. The hardcover print version is printed and bought 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 protecting 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 book
A rising ebook for a rising language
Updating the ebook at all times 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 ebook displays this. The fifth version is 76 % longer than the primary version from 2016. This time, we barely stayed below 1 million characters:
Many due to 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). With the ability to supply this makes me very pleased. The hardcover ebook appears to be like significantly better and is extra more likely to keep open when laid flat on a desk.
We additionally elevated the web page measurement 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 take pleasure in the brand new version. When you resolve to purchase the ebook or should you purchased it prior to now, thanks very a lot! And should you’re keen to write down a assessment on Amazon, we’d respect it.
