We launched the fifth version of our e-book Superior Swift a couple of days in the past. You should buy the e-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 masking 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 homeowners 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 value). With the ability to provide this makes me very blissful. 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 measurement from 15×23 cm (6×9 in) to 18×25 cm (7×10 in) to maintain the web page rely 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 should you purchased it up to now, thanks very a lot! And should you’re prepared to write down a overview on Amazon, we’d admire it.
