We launched the fifth version of our guide Superior Swift just a few days in the past. You should purchase the book on the objc.io website. The hardcover print version is printed and offered by Amazon (amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de).
Highlights of the brand new version:
- Totally 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, end result builders, protocols, and generics
- The print version is now a hardcover (for a similar value)
- Free replace for house owners of the book
A rising guide for a rising language
Updating the guide at all times seems to be extra work than I anticipate. Swift has grown considerably since our final launch (for Swift 5.0), and the scale of the guide 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 enhancing our Dutch/German dialect of English.
Hardcover
For the primary time, the print version is available in hardcover (for a similar value). Having the ability to supply this makes me very completely satisfied. The hardcover guide seems 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 get pleasure from the brand new version. For those who resolve to purchase the guide or should you purchased it prior to now, thanks very a lot! And should you’re keen to jot down a evaluate on Amazon, we’d respect it.
